Scarred and Scared Rod Stewart

[Verse 1]
Started out like anyone of you
Good intentions and a degree
But one hot night under the neon lights
Killed a boy just 17
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
