Lyrics
GOTTA TAKE A CHANCE
Jack Turner ©2001
He built his house on the San Andreas fault
Tycoons laughed at the piece of land he bought
They were laughing when his well came in
California crude just where no one thought
Sometimes you
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Gotta take a risk
And you might find it
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Put your heart behind it
Don?t go sailing on the Gulf of Mexico
Late July the hurricane?s sure to blow
They heard him say as he sailed away
I?ll send a card or a cable from Tampico
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Gotta take a risk
And you might find it
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Put your heart behind it
Just when you think you?ll never find it
That?s when you will
But you know that fate would not design it
So you could do it standing still
Instrumental
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Gotta take a risk
And you might find it
Gotta take a chance gotta take a chance
Put your heart behind it
Chorus repeats with variations to fade
