That Scares Me

                                  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



Now, I've climbed mountains and jumped from planes

Even played chicken with a couple trains

Lord, I've been a fool, I still kept my cool



I don't mind admittin' this heart of mine

Starts to pound thinkin' 'bout



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 watched 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



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



Some people are afraid to die

But me and Jesus get along alright

I'll be okay 'cause my Judgment Day will be



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



On the night I walked 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



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
