Roberts, Julie - The Chance Lyrics
I found a book that my mama kept
Filled with secrets she hid
And in a dusty old attic, one mornin’ I read
About a woman I never met
Who had dreams just like mine
[Chorus:]
Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train
I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance
If I just had the chance
A tear fell on that faded page
‘Cause this was somebody else
Not the mama I knew who never thought of herself
And lines just didn’t get crossed
And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost
[Chorus:]
Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train
I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance
If I just had the chance
The chance that she never had
Is now the gift that is mine
And our here on this road, I’m makin’ up for lost time
Yeah, I am my mother’s child
And tonight in this car, I've got words in suitcase and dreams in my heart
As I roll out of town like a run-away train
I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance
While I still have the chance
I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance
While I still have the chance

Roberts, Julie The Chance Comments
ok look ll is pretty lie olH be ok
I heard this song one night a few years on the radio been looking for it ever since finally found it
Great song
Glad you found it! I agree, it's a great song...
Julie has the nicest smile
I hadn't heard this song in about 10 years. A couple weeks ago i thought about it and played it on my way home. I almost bawled a couple times. Even after i parked at my apartment and listened to it a third time, it hit me. I thought of my mother and grandmothers. I thought about their own sacrifices and i wondered if there were any regrets in their lives that may have halted them from knowing deeper joy. I thought of my father and his life and how certain events changed his life: some for the better, others for the opposite.
It's a great song, isn't it? One of my favorites for sure. Lots of meaning behind it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I’ve had so many parents but I’ve never seen a baby ALIEN’
