Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
[Verse 2]
If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I believe in fate but the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you
[Verse 4]
If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I believe in fate but the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you
[Verse 6]
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night
[Verse 7]
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
[Verse 8]
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
