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 I 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'd feed me If I was in darkness, you'd 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
