I'll Take Any Chance I Can With You
Kris Kristofferson · To The Bone [1981]
We know better it was bitter baby
Watchin' love become a lie
Now we're coming to that point of no returnin'
Do you really wanna try?
Are the reasons or the changes any better than before
Are we into something more than we imagined
That we really can't afford
Does it matter anymore?
You're the biggest gamble that I've ever tried to win
Maybe more than I can stand to lose
But girl I never thought I'd ever feel this good again
More than I could dream of coming true
I'll take any chance I can with you.
--- Instrumental ---
You're the biggest gamble that I've ever tried to win
Maybe more than I can stand to lose
But girl I never thought I'd ever feel this good again
More than I could dream of coming true
I'll take any chance I can with you...
I'll Take Any Chance I Can With You
Kris Kristofferson's 'I'll Take Any Chance I Can With You' stands as a testament to his enduring ability to craft intimate, emotionally resonant country ballads. Released on the 1981 album To The Bone, the track showcases the songwriter's signature blend of poetic lyricism and straightforward musical delivery. While Kristofferson is often celebrated for his earlier outlaw country anthems, this recording reflects a period where his work maintained a deep connection to traditional storytelling. The song captures the vulnerability inherent in his discography, exploring themes of devotion and risk without relying on grandiose production. As part of a broader catalogue that includes timeless hits like 'Help Me Make It Through The Night,' this track remains a compelling example of his skill in conveying complex human emotions through simple, direct melodies.
