Scottie's Song
By: Kevin Carton

Scottie listens to punk rock music
he plays guitar in a band
scottie wishes he had someone
who would hold his hand
and he dares to be different often
he dresses in black
if that scares old people and little children
i guess he’s down with that

sometimes scottie wishes he was never born
he wants to be held at night
and until recently he could have sworn
he wouldn’t turn out right
then sarah walked into his life

as soon as she showed up it all fell into place
and people watched the fire ignite
by their third date he was rounding second base
nothing had ever felt so right
and he thought back to the days before he held her in his arms
before he had someone
but now he had this girl who kissed him and hugged him
and told him that she loved him when he felt down

sometimes scottie wishes he was never born
he wants to be held at night
and until recently he could have sworn
he wouldn’t turn out right
then sarah walked into his life

he’ll never forget the day
when she looked into his face
and told him she was in love

sometimes scottie wishes he was never born
he wants to be held at night
and until recently he could have sworn
he wouldn’t turn out right
then sarah walked into his life
