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
