[mrhipsterdoofus]

"Forgiveness doesn't come with a debt."

[Whist1eSing]

i take my chances every chance I get, too. --But I didn't start taking my chances till I heard this. 

[texasgemcutter]

I will be taking my chances on a lady named Lois Ann, I am going to roll those dice,,, i Just know it wil be---- 7 come11----and that lady will be mine...God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!!

Great guitar work in this song.

[punkrockmamaof3]

I Love this song/ Artist. she is amazing...her lyrics speak to me.

[lthrneckusa]

This is the song of my life...

[cmay52]

a very well done video to a great song --Thanks

[SamIamGolden]

Very cool lady, very cool song along with Passionate Kisses, He Thinks He'll Keep Her, The Hard Way, and on and on - we miss this talent!

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Just wonderful!! Thanks for posting the song and making the video!

[Thereisonlythemoment]

An Anthem for Survivors.Love the line "I dont mind working without a net" - We have to open up, embrace life, not be fearful. Great song from a very talented lady.

[DaveWollenberg]

Mary-Chapin has wisely quit smokin' since she recorded this song. She hit #2 in Billboard, 7-16-94. God bless!

[damnyoustamos]

She still changes the channel on televangelists, though.

[DaveWollenberg]

@damnyoustamos that's perfectly alright. God bless!

[iluvsesshomaru09]

@damnyoustamos Good for her. Those ppl only want your money. They don't want you to convert. You have to wonder how many are really believers.

[wizemanful]

isn't this song great?

[wizemanful]

Shout out to my omegle friend!!!

[matthewa89]

"I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote

I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat

He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check

I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette"

Amen Mary... I think I'm going to make a t-shirt with this on it! Thanks for the lovely video, Sunsong

[cletistheslackjawedy]

i have every cd and seen her 4 times live,people in cleveland say...who?

[dreamcatcherdeb]

@cletistheslackjawedy

I have all her CD's too! Her London concert last saturday was the best eve of my life. Wow.

[mammothroller]

@cletistheslackjawedy ..not all Clevelanders..lol..born & raised there, Mary Chapin Carpenter fan FOREVER... =)

[redneon06]

Youll never learn, If you dont take chances!

[redneon06]

When I was little I liked this, and I always will! :D

[DawsonDenise]

I love this song.

[nonsheepleperson]

Perfect video - I'm a believer. I'm amazed how perfect this fits :) Hahahaha! Gawd I wanna live some more! Let's move forward hey?

[nonsheepleperson]

My theme song - Thanks for the perfect video - simply perfect :)

[MayumiRayne]

I WILL NEVER HAVE NO REGRET IN EVERY MOVE I MAKE...LOLX ...LOVING IT...

[jcyeadonsmith]

"I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep

I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep"

...awesome lyrics!

[prajna8]

Life without Mary and her singing genius would have been incomplete.

[p11b20]

For Tammy!

[byron84]

I take my chances that I'm the only person who's only listened to MCC as a chance in and of itself.

[reddhawkk73]

I used to sing this while working the e.r. ......."I dont mind working without a net" ......Love her!!!!

[mberning1]

Ah, Mary Chapin Carpenter in her first heyday. Great, inspiring video, dear!!

[jimhfoster]

I had forgotten how much I just love this song!!

[gs7767]

One of the greatest musicians ever

[tim22ism]

littleredhaired woman come see my grave on 149th and air depot blvd.

[lorilamb1544]

love the song - AWESOME photos - great job!!!

[countrynfolk]

My aunt had her CDs, I just 'found ' her-great singing great song I love it.

[Cerridwen247]

Hadn't heard this song in a while and started singing it at work the other day. It definately fits me

[epistte]

I love this song and the message. I'm a adrenaline junkie and don't feel alive until my life is in danger. Ive raced formula cars in the rain, and snow, mountain climbed, worked law enforcement and crawled around in unmarked caves. The cynical lyric about the minister and the check is priceless and pure Chapin.

[redneon06]

@epistte Your comment would be perfect lyrics for a song, sang with the music of this song! :D

[algebra123us]

I loved this song when I was a kid. Now I see this song has much wisdom

[IntoTheDarkNight]

Awesome Song......."I take my chances, I don't cling to remorse or regret"

[StreetSavvyCabby]

Life is an adventure or it is nothing...

[StreetSavvyCabby]

Life is an adventure or it is nothing...

I take my chances...

No boundaries...no limitations...

Don't settle for second best...

Go for it...

[bored2infinity]

While this studio recording version is great, you should also try the live acoustical-only version with MCC and the band on the "Party Doll and Other Favorites" version. Whoa! Did they ever nail it!

[rockchick80s]

"I dont mind working without a Net" a woman after my own heart - great words,love her voice.

[citbmitww]

i just love her to bits, i first heard her 12 yrs ago , this old shirt, love it still ,im i uk shes not heard of here much but im tryin to spread the word

[LoveRise]

Wow! What a great production. I love the visuals you use to complement the lyrics. I especially liked the opening with the roulette wheel. I love mary chapin and this song is the one I would play as a performing songwriter before giving a concert.

My favorite Mary Chapin song is Passionate Kisses which I would play 'at other times' because it also reflects my philosophy of life. My request to you is to create one of your videos to Passionate Kisses. Until then...Celebrate Life Thanx...Laurie

[saftaromanul]

relaxing music !! bye the way i love your avatar

[evanwilliams21]

Haha... oh boy! I almost forgot about Mary. My mom used to play her nonstop in the car when I was a kid. Good stuff!!

[OboxerU]

Had to favorite this one, of course.

[Pallindrom27]

Mary Chapin Carpenter is so beautiful and talented. I want to see more of HER in these vids!

[sergiobontempelli]

"Some people say

That you shouldn't tempt fate

But I never learned nothing

from playing it safe

I say fate should not tempt me". Great!!

[fretlessbass26]

But never learned nothin; from playin' it safe... I say fate should not tempt me.

[davinpilling]

I love your work, thanks

[Sunsong23]

Hey:-)

What am I going to do with a kind and generous comment like that:-)

Thanks very much! I love a rebel - a non-conformist - and this song by Mary fits that for me.

[mberning1]

Mary Chapin Carpenter is exceptional.
