Lyrics

CHANCES ARE GOOD

SHE GAVE ME MORE CHANCES
THAN ANY MAN DESERVES
AND ALL I TOOK
WAS ADVANTAGE OF HER
ONE BY ONE
I WATCHED ?EM ALL SLIP AWAY
I?VE HAD MY CHANCES
THAT?S ALL I CAN SAY

SHE WAS STANDIN? AT THE FRONT DOOR
WITH HER SUITCASE IN HAND
LOOKIN? RIGHT THROUGH ME
TRYIN? TO UNDERSTAND
BUT REASONS DON?T MATTER
WHEN LOVE TAKES A FALL
NOW THE CHANCES ARE GOOD
THERE?S NO CHANCE AT ALL

THE COULD?VES AND WOULD?VES
THEY DON?T MATTER MUCH NOW
I SHOULD?VE DONE BETTER
BUT I DID NOT KNOW HOW
THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT
IF I?D JUST CHANGED MY WAYS
I?VE HAD MY CHANCES
THAT?S ALL I CAN SAY

OH I LOOK AROUND ME
AND ALL I SEE
ARE CONSTANT REMINDERS
OF THE WAY IT USED TO BE
I FIND MYSELF WISHIN?
THERE WAS ONLY SOME WAY
I?VE HAD MY CHANCES
THAT?S ALL I CAN SAY

SHE WAS STANDIN? AT THE FRONT DOOR
WITH HER SUITCASE IN HAND
LOOKIN? RIGHT THROUGH ME
TRYIN? TO UNDERSTAND
BUT REASONS DON?T MATTER
WHEN LOVE TAKES A FALL
NOW THE CHANCES ARE GOOD
THERE?S NO CHANCE AT ALL
CHANCES ARE GOOD
THERE?S NO CHANCE AT ALL

Here's a great love lost song. It comes across as brutally honest and sincere. Lyrics are definitely well thought out. Extremely clever: Chances are good there's no chance at all. Great word pictures and story, totally was able to follow it. Excellent bridge. Like the way artist repeats the suitcase verse in the final part - really effective. I really like the fiddle in this track.

Good chorus and good hook. Good production and clarity of the recording. Good vocal. I really like the hook and I have not heard that lyric before which is a major plus. The instrumentation is good and the fiddle is a nice touch. I think the style is in line with what you might hear from artists like Jon Pardi or any artist who goes a little more toward the traditional country style.

i love the story behind the song reminds me of traditional country when country music was the greatest
