Every line in your face is a road you've been down

It's a freight train you hopped or a night in a strange town

It's a joke that you told, it's a tear that rolled on

A sad story you heard or a lover who's gone

And the scars on your hands, it's the hard work that you've done

It's the skin that you've touched, all the wars that you've won

It's the baby you cradled, it's the letters you wrote

It's that time you held on, it's that time you let go

And the footprints you leave, are perfect and deep

And your soul is a place that is tough and it's sweet

And the shadow you cast is straight and it's true

But the lines and the scars are what I love about you

And the rust in your voice, that's the dust and the rain

It's the choices defended again and again and again

It's the life that you live, it's the friends come and gone

It's the highways, the truck stops, and the cold steel dawn

And the footprints you leave, they are perfect and deep

And your soul is a place that is tough but it's sweet

And the shadow you cast is straight and it's true

But the lines and the scars and the rust

That's what I love about you
