| 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 |
