The Road Hammers - I've Got The Scars To Prove It lyrics

I shake my head in disbelief At all my self-inflicted grief Had a strong right hand, I wasn't afraid to use it My mama preached till her face was blue But not a damn word seemed to make it through I've got the scars to prove it I ran on whiskey and burned like gas I went too far, I went too fast I'd light a fire just to walk right through it Busted bones, dreams and tears Tattoo my heart like souvenirs Life is just a word till you go through it I've got the scars to prove it I lost good friends over foolish pride Drank with the devil just to feel alive I'd 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 woman's touch I got the scars to prove it I ran on whiskey and burned like gas I went too far, I went too fast I'd light a fire just to walk right through it Busted bones, dreams and tears Tattoo my heart like souvenirs Life is just a word till you go through it I've got the scars to prove it 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 I've moved on I ran on whiskey and burned like gas I went too far, I went too fast I'd light a fire just to walk right through it Busted bones, dreams and tears Tattoo my heart like souvenirs Life is just a word till you go through it I've got the scars to prove it
