[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Gettin’ drunk by the figure 8,
Figure one more beer oughtta set me straight,
Young and carefree as a boy could be,
Whiskey, smokes, and LSD,
Railroad tracks run along the creek, 
Walk em up and down in the summer heat, 
Same ol’ boy changing like the seasons ,
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen ,
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen. 

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Daddy’s in jail for a dui,
Brothers in rehab a second time,
Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds, 
Legal drugs doing double damaged to your mind
There must be greater forces at play 
Too big to see and impossible to say
No one in life makes it out unscathed
Aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars.
Hey, aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars,
Now I think we’re even.
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen. 

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Gettin’ high by the covered bridge 
Granny find out gonna flip her lid 
Never did go to a high school dance 
I was in love with a bad romance 
Now I’m 28 with these aches and pains 
Pray to the devil now with each complaint
No one in life makes it out unscathed
Aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars.
Hey, aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars,
Aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars,
Hey, aches and scars, 
Hey, aches and scars,
Now I think we’re even.
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen, 
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen.,
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen,
