That Scares Me Lyrics - Singles - Van Zant

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
