Karaoké That Scares Me 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

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

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

Starts to pound a' 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 all right

I'll be okay 'cos 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 the 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 the 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
