If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you're a river I would swim you,
If you're a house I would live in you all my days. If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways. Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.
If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.
Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
