Lyrics Michael Martin Murphey

Michael Martin Murphey

Still Taking Chances

I knew when I met you something was going to happen

My life was all unbalanced nothing had been going right

You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city

I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight

Still taking chances taking candy from strangers

Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances ain't scaared of winning

Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning

Still taking chances before chances take me away

Before chances take me away

Maybe I should have thought it over

When you said will you join me later

I said honey I dopn't know if it's right

But when you turned and walked down the street I followed

I felt like I was following a truckload of dynamite

Still taking chances taking candy from strangers

Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances ain't scared of winning

Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning

Still taking chances before chances take me away

Before chances take me away

Been three years now since we got together

You took a chance on me

Now I'm out here taking chances for you

Still taking chances taking candy from strangers

Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances ain't scared of winning

Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning

Still taking chances before chances take me away

Before chances take me away
