Earn Your Scars

When I look in the mirror At the man I was meant to be I can't help but notice A little boy staring back at me He's got one foot to the fire The other in the grave Truth be told that's all he's known Man is that boy brave I hope I never live another day In that young man's shoes If I ever go and lose my way Than it's probably best I do Cause the weak ones will try and break you Try to tear you back in two Thank that girl who used to point and laugh She put the "Y" "O" in you And there's a badge on my back, there's a crest on my chest A reminder where I've been when I'm all in a mess You're six feet higher than you should be Man those wounds look fine to me Easy go won't get you far Damn those girls will dig them scars Man they made you who you are So cowboy up and earn your scars Embrace the underdog inside And carry a big stick Let the white noise fall on deaf ears As you silence your critics Cause everybody knows it all Pay no mind to what they say Til they've stood in your shoes And they've survived for just one day And there's a badge on my back, there's a crest on my chest A reminder where I've been when I'm all in a mess You're six feet higher than you should be Man those wounds look fine to me Easy go won't get you far Damn those girls will dig them scars Man they made you who you are So cowboy up and earn your scars And don't give up now Don't let me down Pick up your head Before you drown It's funny when you look back How you don't feel a thing All you remember are the good parts How the pain taught you to dream The destination's in the journey And those scars are just the map Lines that point you where you need to go And pick you up when you fall flat And there's a badge on my back, there's a crest on my chest A reminder where I've been when I'm all in a mess You're six feet higher than you should be Man those wounds look fine to me Easy go won't get you far Damn those girls will dig them scars Man they made you who you are So cowboy up and earn your scars
