Chances Are

Looking for a job on the hill
 the president should
 but I don't think he will
 my stepfather's name is bill
 he's married to my mom
 and a little white pill
 chorus:
 ah, Louise, won't somebody, please
 take me away
 far from gone, Rotan
 out on the Caribbean
 she had all the colors
 of the rainbow in her hair
 we all wanted to kiss her
 so I took the dare
 then they tied all the cans to
 the back of our wagon
 in the end it was just our
 love that was draggin'
 chorus:
 ah, Louise, won't somebody, please
 take me away
 far from here where I disappeared
 from your eyes a long time ago
 bridge:
 chances are
 I guess worth the taking
 you follow your heart
 though it keeps on breaking
 and in the light of dawn
 soon I'll be gone
 like a song in your thoughts
 all alone while you're sleeping
 I was living life on my own
 till I got a call
 took the long ride home
 to take care of the ones who took care of me
 in my highly dysfunctional family
 stripped of his clothes
 cursing the cancer
 god's only got so many prayers
 he can answer
 'cause with millions of eyes
 and millions of souls
 somebody's bound to be
 left in the cold
 Chorus:
 ah, Louise, won't you help me please
 take me away
 far from now
 won't you show me how
 to get on with
 the rest of my days
