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'
