D-DU-UDU
I shake my head in disbelief
At all my self inflicted grief
Had a strong right hand I wasnt afraid to use it
My mama preached till her face was blue
But not a damn word seemed to make it through
Ive got the scars to prove it
(Chorus)
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
I went too far I went too fast
Id light a fire just to walk right through it
Busted bones and dreams and tears
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
Life is just a word till you go through it
Ive got the scars to prove it
I lost good friends over foolish pride
Drank with the devil just to feel alive
Id build a mountain then I'd try to move it
Yeah and I thought that I was pretty tough
Till I was brought down by a womans touch
I've got the scars to prove it
(Chorus)
Now and then regrets may find me
But these marks are here to remind me
Of where I went wrong what made me strong
And how Ive moved on
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
I went too far I went too fast
Id light a fire just to walk right through it
Busted bones and dreams and tears
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
Love is just a word till you go through it
Life is just a word till you go through it
Ive got the scars to prove it
