Capo 4


D
Once I had a fortune ridin' on the shoe of a field goal kicker from LSU
        G                           D
I never broke a sweat, hell, it was just a bet
     D
Now, I've climbed mountains and jumped from planes, even played chicken with a couple trains
      G                        D
Lord, I've been a fool,I still kept my cool
  A
I don't mind admittin' this heart a mine
G               A
Starts to pound a-thinkin' bout


Chorus:
    G                        
The day my son starts askin' me all about my history
    D              D/C#                  Bm
The things I don't want him to know, the sex, the drugs, and rock-n-roll
G
Or the first time I watch my daughter climb in some boy's car as I holler
        D              D/C#                       Bm
"Honey, don't be late", I swallow hard while they drive away
    Em              Em/F#             G
How sad my life without my wife would be
A               G  D  G  D
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 cause my judgement day will be


Chorus 2:
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

Chorus 3:
The things I don't want him 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
