Scarred and Scared - 2008 Remaster

Lyrics

Started out like any one of you
 Good intentions and a degree
 But one hot night under the neon lights
 Killed a boy just seventeen
 Now I sit here rainin' on my Maker
 Reprieve is all I'm praying for
 Lord I fear the hangman's steps approachin'
 Will the priest knock gently on my door
 And I know I've let my daddy down
 and I broke my mother's heart
 I'd give anything turn back time again
 Just give me one more start
 I don't need no trial humiliation
 Just tell me that I'm heaven bound
 I don't want no two faced consolation
 What use is that to me six feet underground
 I'm going down to the engine shed
 Put a gun up to my head
 Blow myself into the promised land
 We call it scarred and scared
 And if you ever see my son again
 Don't let on just how I fared
 Tell him, tell him I went down big and strong
 I was never, never, never scarred or scared
 All the girls that once did gather 'round me
 have moved along to someone else
 Sitting here desperation is my close friend
 What I'd give to kiss one of them now
 Oo yeah I'll take you there
 I'll take ya there
