Taking My Chances

(album: Smith/Kotzen - 2021)

You know me, I know you
You got a plan yeah, what else is new
You got your money, high intellect
But just remember that you can't buy respect

They say that I'm just another burnout
And I'm wasting time
Keep barking orders, scream and shout
I'm gonna let you know

I'm taking my chances
I can't go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found

I wanna feel alive, why can't I
Just bring this whole thing down
I'm taking my chances
Of the ride, of the ride

I've been high, I've been low
Got every reason to let you know
You got degrees, I got the street
Ain't nobody who could rescue me

They want my back against the wall
But I'm leaving dust
I don't believe in them at all

I'm taking my chances
I can't go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found

I wanna feel alive, why can't I
Just bring this whole thing down
I'm taking my chances
Of the ride, of the ride

I'm taking my chances
I can't go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found

I wanna feel alive, why can't I
Just bring this whole thing down
I'm taking my chances
Of the ride, of the ride
