They say it ain't meant to be
A city girl and a country boy like me
Well I'll take my chances
They say I'll get a couple weeks of ridin' high
Then a sudden change of heart goodbye
But I'll take my chances

Yea I'll take my chances
Think the payoff's worth the risk
But if the dice don't roll my way
And a broken heart is all I get

I'll take my chances and go
Along with my heart and my soul
Retrace this old dead end road
And find what I've been chasin'
Somewhere between now and then
I might make the wrong turn again
Girl I'm a big boy you know
I'll take my chances and go

The way you smile and shake your head
I don't buy what everybody says
Yeah I like my chances
But then again on the other hand
There's something 'bout your eyes that say you can
Do a man some damage
I'll take the gamble you won't leave me high and dry
But if I feel your leaving comin' you won't have to say goodbye

I'll take my chances and go
'long with my heart and my soul
Retrace this old dead end road
And find what I've been chasin'
Somewhere between now and then
I might make the wrong turn again
Girl I'm a big boy you know
I'll take my chances and go

Hey girl let's give us a roll of the dice
Hope they turn up what we like
And if it turns out they don't
I'll take my chances and go
