| Taking a chance As I sit and listen I wonder what it is I am missen. I hear the frogs out in the water-logged bogs I hear in the distance an owl and his old pal The whippoorwill sitting up high in the hills I watch the scattered flights of the fireflies in the twilight The clouds roll in saying that a storm is about to begin In the distance the lightning is flashing and the thunder is crashing I see the woman I love pull up; it makes me feel like a young pup She has came to spend the night which just having her near is a heavenly delight I met her one night at a local barn dance and I got brave enough to take a chance My two buddies and I just didn’t see eye to eye They thought I was silly when I said the one in the middle was one good-looking filly She made my heart do flip-flops right from the start So I walked across the floor just as she started for the door I said miss could I have just one kiss, I’m mean dance She turned and looked at me for a moment it was anger I could see But her look softened and she said I don’t hear that too often Since you took the chance you can have your dance Now that night is history and to finish this story I am asking her to be my miss’s for that night I did get my kisses I thank God everyday and every night for this angelic delight That I get to hold because I was so bold When I took a chance and ask her for a dance.
