This song is my tribute to the Nascar Race Driver. They are a breed all their own. Staring down death every week from Feb. till Nov. Driving upwards of 200mph on some tracks. Very few on earth can do what they do each week. I made the background track for this song with a program call ACID which uses samples to create a track. I hope you like it. I'll put the lyrics below. Oh yeah, and The Daytona 500 is this Sunday! :-) - RickyTaking Chances______________________________________Riding on the edgeWhere I can almost taste the skyStaring straight aheadBelieving I can flyRunning like hurricaneThe wind at my heelsI barely touch the groundAnd seldom do revealJust what it is that makes me wanna live my life this wayNot paying any 'tention to what other people sayTaking ChancesTaking ChancesBorn upon the mountain Where the eagle makes his nestI knew that I destinedTo soar above the restI never could sit stillUpon my momma's kneeI felt that I was born to runThe day that I turned 3People always told me "Boy you better just slow down!"I left 'em in a cloud a dust the day that day that I left townTaking ChancesTaking Chances( Chorus )I'm always taking chancesThat other people don'tAnd I don't care to take a dareTo get to where I wantIf you don't believe meJust name the place and timeI'll take a chance and settle upAcross the finish lineVerse 2Where normal folks would just back offI put 'er to the floorAnd when I pass you byI'm the one you can't ignoreNot wasting on the sidelinesI'm soaring ever higherNot bothered by distactionsWhile I'm dancing with the fireYou'll know that I'm not bragging or telling you a lieThe day that you hear thunder and no clouds are in the skyTaking ChancesTaking Chances( Chorus ) 2XI'm always taking chancesThat other people don'tAnd I don't care to take a dareTo get to where I wantIf you don't believe meJust name the place and timeI'll take a chance and settle upAcross the finish line

Feb 24, 2012 - Thanks Roger! Yeah I've been into Nascar that long. I used to go to the local track to and also the Drag Races in Bristol TN. aka Thunder Valley :-) Actually I made this background track on my computer with ACID music program and different instrument samples. It's amazing what it can do but very time consuming! Thanks for listening! :-)
