TAKE A CHANCE

It was late in August, off the interstate

I swear I saw a vision coming from the lake

I pulled my car to the side, but couldn't see a rig

Thought, I am mighty tired, or dehydrated

He stood in the sunshine, water running down

A body that could make a Queen renounce her crown

Never been the boldest person on this earth

But I wanted to go down there so bad it hurt

He used his hands to block the sun out of his eyes

When he started up the hill, I swear, I almost died

I rolled down the window, and he leaned on in

Said you look mighty hot, why don't you come and swim

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

How often do you get the chance to really live

What kind of fool would go and miss a fate like this

I got out throwing caution to the burning wind

And when he took my hand, my body followed him

Every sense I had went into overdrive

I've never been so daring, or felt so alive

Every dammed hesitation, was released with him

How often do you get the chance to really live

~~*~~

I asked how he got there...Was he fantasy

He laughed, and said my horse is over in the trees

He asked me to go riding, but I've never been

Sure felt good in the saddle, riding off with him

We crested the hill, and rode on to his ranch

The chemistry was magic for a game of chance

I wasn't even scared, it all felt so right

Oh, I could live like this for the rest of time

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

How often do you get the chance to really live

What kind of fool would go and miss a fate like this

I got down throwing caution to the burning wind

And when he took my hand, my body followed him

Every sense I had went into overdrive

I've never been so daring, or felt so alive

Every dammed hesitation was released with him

How often do you get the chance to really live

~~*~~

My Daddy doesn't like the way that we first met

But I am still in Heaven, can't believe it yet

How I found an Adonis on a Sunday drive

And come the first of May...He will be all mine

~~~*FINALE*~~~

I've always played it safe...Kept myself away...When things got hot

I never stayed

Took a leap at chance...I rushed right in...Now I'll spend the rest of

My life with him

Run...Sing...Swim...Laugh...and Dance

If you really want to live

Sometimes...

Oh Sometimes...

Sometimes take a chance
