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 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



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

On the night I walked my daughter

Down the aisle in a stiff white collar

Just a view, they'll say

But 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
