Julie Roberts - The Chance Lyrics
I found a book that my mama keptFilled with secrets she hidAnd in a dusty old attic, one mornin I readAbout a woman I never metWho had dreams just like mineWith every page that I turned, the words came aliveChorus:Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away trainI'll do as I dare, let them call me insaneI'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every danceIf I just had the chanceA tear fell on that faded pageCause this was somebody elseNot the mama I knew who never thought of herselfBut the times, they were different thenAnd lines just didn't get crossedAnd these words that she wrote, they somehow got lostChorus:Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away trainI'll do as I dare, let them call me insaneI'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every danceIf I just had the chanceThe chance that she never hadIs now the gift that is mineAnd out here on this road, I'm makin up for lost timeYeah, I am my mother's childAnd tonight in this carI've got her words in my suitcase and her dreams in my heartChorus:As I roll out of town like a run-away trainI'll do as I dare, let them call me insaneI'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every danceWhile I still have the chanceI'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every danceWhile I still have the chance
