Right through the wing of his eagle tattoo

Jake pointed out where the bullet passed through

Pete said, "That ain't nothin," as he pulled off his 
hat

"It took fifty-seven stitches to put my hairline back"

Red rolled up his shirt and laughed, said, "Boy's, I'll 
top that"
Showed them where a bucking brama bull nearly stomped 

him right in half

Scars, everyone's got a story
A tall tale of glory
A flesh and blood reminder 
Of how fragile we are

The stranger he just sat there till the last one was 

through 
And old Carter said, "Hey buddy! How about you?" 

His lips began to tremble and a tear run from his eye 

As told about the woman who destroyed his life

"The worst wound in the whole wide world never leaves a 
mark
'Cause all I have's a hole where I used to have a 
heart"

Scars, everyones got a story
A different tale of glory 
You ain't lived till you've got scars 
You ain't loved till you've got scars
