Van Zant - That Scares Me lyrics

rate me

1st Verse

Once I had a fortune ridin' on the shoe

Of a field goal kicker from LSU

I never broke a sweat

Hell, it was just a bet

2nd Verse

Now, I've climbed mountains and jumped from planes

Even played chicken with a couple trains

Lord, I've been a fool

I still a'kept my cool

Pre Chorus

I don't mind admittin' this heart 'a mine

Starts to pound a'thinkin' 'bout

1st Chorus

The day my son starts askin' me

All about my history

The things I don't want him to know

The sex, the drugs, and rock-n-roll

Or the first time I *watch* my daughter

Climb in some boy's car as I holler,

'Honey, don't be late'

I swallow hard while they drive away

How sad my life without my wife would be

Now that scares me

3rd Verse

This mornin' while I combed my hair

I found a few stray grays in there

And I laughed out loud

I guess I ain't that proud

4th Verse

Some people are afraid to die

But me and Jesus get along all right

I'll be okay 'cause my judgment day

Will be

2nd Chorus

The day my son starts askin' me

All about my history

The things I don't want him to know

The sex, the drugs, and rock-n-roll

*Or* the night I *walk* my daughter

Down the aisle in a stiff white collar

Just *to hear them say*

who gives this girl away

And leave her standin' while I find my seat

Now that scares me

Tag Chorus

The things I don't want them to know

The sex, the drugs, and rock-n-roll

And the day they call another house their home

I'm hopin' they find everything that they need

How sad my life without my wife would be

Now that scares me

Oh, that scares me
