LYRICS
Should have took the short cut
Should have took the cash
I should have worked a little harder
To try to do more than just pass
But I didn’t know the short cut
Nobody told me what to do
Now I got a head full of dreams
And a pocketful of I owe yous
Shrinking options
There’s not much else to do
So I’ll
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances
Me I should have worked a little harder
Should have got a bit more pay
Should have known when to keep this mouth shut
To know what to and not to say
But I didn’t know much better
Nobody told me what to do
Now I got a head full of heartache
And a pocketful of I owe yous
Shrinking options
There’s not much else to do
So I’ll
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances
Go ahead and laugh
Go ahead and laugh
Well you might think you’ve got it better
‘Cause you don’t fuss and you don’t sweat
Should have took the short cut
Should have cut right through
But now I’m left here with my hindsight
And a shop worn hope or two
Now I’m not sure there is a short cut
So I’ll just keep a watch on mine
Left with a head full of dreams
And a pocketful of I owe yous
Shrinking options
There’s not much else to do
So I’ll
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances
I’ll take my chances…
