Here's my grandpa's old Gibson

And a girl of no importance

A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar

Yeah I used to give a damn, I used to try real hard

But I'll give in tonight, chances are



[Chorus]

One foot on the narrow way

And one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies

From what the good book says

If I'm goin' any where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are, chances are



There's a lonely corner waiting

To seats left for playing

I'll tell her everything she wants to hear



I'm not worse love this making

I'm better at the breakin'

A guy like me knows how to disappear



[Chorus]

One foot on the narrow way , and one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies, from what the good book says

If I'm goin' any where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are, chances are



Hold me like I mean it

Say 'til you believe it

And we'll see if we can fill an empty heart

But I won't tell you what the chances are



[Chorus]

One foot on the narrow way , and one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies, from what the good book says

If I'm goin' any where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are, chances are
