(Rod Stewart / Gary Grainger)
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 thereLittle Carrie Ann, what a beautiful girl
From the moment she was born
She was always perfect
Whole town said "Why can't you be more like her?"
Lights go on and she's ready to spin
On stage doin' all the things she's told to
Puts on a show in front of the whole damn world
I pray to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause that sweet little angel is not the girl I know
She gets wound up
she gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
That shes goes a little crazy sometimes
Oh sometimes
She parks her car at the top of the hill
Only inches from the edge
Where she's almost falling
Stares at the sky till she's drowning in the rain
Nice dress, nice smile
What a wonderful child
If they only knew all the lies she's told them
It's too complicated for her to explain
She prays to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause the sweet little angel is close to letting go
She gets wound up
she gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
So shes goes a little crazy sometimes
She goes crazy sometimes
I pray to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause that sweet little angel is close to lettin' go
She gets wound up
she gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
That shes goes a little crazy sometimes
Sometimes
She goes crazy sometimes
Sometimes
