Out on a limb

lyrics by Linda McCarthy, music by Rick Quimby

I wanna rock the boat, love in vain

Leave my toys out in the rain

Throw some caution to the wind

Burn a candle at both ends

I wanna have my cake and eat it too

Bite off more than I can chew

Lose my cool and cross the line

Drink some wine before its time

Chorus:

Everybody now and then should step out on a limb

Jump into the deep end of the pool

If only for the fun of it, if only on a whim

Everyone should step out on a limb

I wanna make some waves, bet it all

Burn some bridges, drop the ball

Trust in things that don’t exist

Kiss someone I’ve never kissed

Pick a fight with city hall

Walk before I learn to crawl

Prove that I can take a joke

Fix it if it isn’t broke

[Chorus]

I wanna count my chickens, pull a punch

Take a swim right after lunch

Chase a dream, say too much

Ride the brakes and burn the clutch

I wanna save the world, lose my grip

Push my luck and double dip

Erase the battle lines when drawn

Speak my mind before it’s gone

[Chorus]
