Based on a true story. A love story, as all songs are.

Life of Risk
On a boat out at sea,
There is a man he looks a lot like me,
His coarse hands, gripping tight,
He’s at the mercy of the wind & the tide.
Back home on the farm,
His wife and kids are safe from harm.
A little bit hungry, a little bit cold,
She wants her man to have and to hold.
*They chose the life of risk,
they made their choice, now they're stuck with it.
They've got no money, or a plan.
Just the loving of a woman who followed her man!
Hey baby, it's time to go.
Way up north where the cold winds blow.
I've got a cabin, I've got a job
If you're willing won't you come along?
After a while, they settled in,
'Till it was time to go back again.
Oh darling, please don't go.
Don't you know I need you so.
*They chose the life of risk,
They made their choice, now they're stuck with it.
They've got no money, or a plan.
Just the loving of a woman who followed her man!
They made money, hand over fist,
There was danger, put his life at risk.
Dreaming of his life back home,
And the woman he loved, all alone…
When he returned, he heard the news;
He's gonna be a dad in a month or two.
This caught him unawares,
But you know he didn't care 'cause;
**They chose the life of risk,
They made their choice, now they're stuck with it.
They've got no money, or a plan.
Just the loving of a woman a child and their man!
The loving of a woman a child and their man!
