Lyrics

"Chances Are"

by John Kelly Wilson


Verse
Who hasn't made mistakes, I think we all have sometimes
Some are easy to get past, some linger on for a while
Then there are some that just won't let go, stay deep in your heart and soul
You were one of those, my biggest mistake, why'd I ever let you go

Chorus
Chances Are
If there's a glass with ice, and a healthy dose of Lynchburg's finest
Chances Are
Then the needle hits the vinyl, and Reba sings your favorite song
Chances Are
Then I'll close my eyes, for a moment it'll seem like you're still here
Chances Are
Like I always do I'll realize that you're gone and aren't comin back

Verse
Didn't know what I had when we met way back when
But wasn't dumb enough to realize you were the finest lookin women I'd ever laid eyes on
You partied like hell, loved your old school country, we're partial to a bourbon or two
Then it came time to start to grow up, you won that race and left me way behind you

Chorus
Chances Are
If there's a glass with ice, and a healthy dose of Lynchburg's finest
Chances Are
Then the needle hits that vinyl, and Reba sings your favorite song
Chances Are
Then I'll close my eyes, for a moment it'll seem like you're still here
Chances Are
Like I always do I'll realize that you're gone and aren't comin back

Bridge
But in my heart I knew you needed a man who was ready to step up
Not a boy still lookin for the next big party, not caring about growing enough
Would've been easy to do, don't understand what I was thinking, should've stayed with you
Now I just sit here and wonder why


Chorus
Chances Are
If there's a glass with ice, and a healthy dose of Lynchburg's finest
Chances Are
Then the needle hits that vinyl, and Reba sings your favorite song
Chances Are
Then I'll close my eyes, for a moment it'll seem like you're still here
Chances Are
Like I always do I'll realize that you're gone and aren't comin back
Not comin back
I'll open my eyes and realize you're gone and aren't comin back
I'll open my eyes and realize you're gone and aren't comin back
You not comin back
You're gone and aren't comin back
