I took a few stitches right there
One night when I caught a little air
Flyin' over those railroad tracks
Back tire hit the gravel and I rolled it
But that's the way it's always been
I was out there runnin' down a feelin'
Hit a few bumps, take a few falls
Get up and walk away like you own it

They may look like scars to you
Some of my life's best tattoos
The wear and tear, the black and blue
That's just livin'
It goes to show you paid your dues
Those you win and those you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just livin'
That's just livin'

Hey girl, lemme dry those tears
Don't cry cause you're leavin'
I swear a lot of big things are waitin' on you
And we all got to do what we gotta do
I won't lie, this is breakin' my heart
And I know it's gonna leave a good mark
And when it heals, I'll be fine
But I got the chance to dance with you one time

They may look like scars to you
Some of my life's best tattoos
The wear and tear, the black and blue
That's just livin'
It goes to show you paid your dues
Those you win and those you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just livin'
That's just livin'

Of all the roads you took
Turns you wish you'd taken slower
It's all you've got to show
Girl when this whole thing is over

They may look like scars to you
Some of my life's best tattoos
The wear and tear, the black and blue
That's just livin'
It goes to show you paid your dues
Those you win and those you lose
Turn the page with no excuse
That's just livin'
They may look like scars to you
Some of my life's best tattoos
The wear and tear, the black and blue
That's just livin'
It goes to show you paid your dues
Those you win and those you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just livin'
That's just livin'
That's just livin'
That's just livin'
