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||chorus||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||repeat chorus||i ran on whiskey, i 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|love is just a word till you go through it, i've got the scars to prove it||bridge||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||repeat chorus||i ran on whiskey, i 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|love is just a word till you go through it|i've got the scars to prove it|
