This is one of my first forays into the world of modern country. Not very edgy, and not particularly marketable…but I include it here as “documentation” of my musical journey.

VERSE 1
Last night I got your call
When I never thought I’d hear from you at all
I thought that I had blown it for the very last time
But somehow, I guess you knew
That I didn’t mean to be so rough on you
So you called to tell me everything’s all right
And it scares me when the things I do
Can bring me close to losin’ you
How can I ask you to trust in me
When I don’t even trust myself?
Last night I got your call
When I never thought I’d hear from you at all
I thought that I had blown it for the very last time
But somehow, I guess you knew
That I didn’t mean to be so rough on you
So you called to tell me everything’s all right
And it scares me when the things I do
Can bring me close to losin’ you
How can I ask you to trust in me
When I don’t even trust myself?
CHORUS
Are you willing to take a chance on me?
Willing to put your love on the line?
Are you willing to take a chance on me, one more time?
One more time
VERSE 2
Darlin’, don’t know how you can see
How much I love you deep inside of me
When lately I’ve been showin’ anything but love
But somehow I guess you know
The things inside me I don’t always show
You stuck around when others would have given up
And it’s just a phase that I’m goin’ through
But I’m sorry what it does to you
Lord, I know that it’s unfair of me
But I’m asking you just the same
CHORUS
Are you willing to take a chance on me?
Willing to put your love on the line?
Are you willing to take a chance on me, one more time?
One more time
