Verse 1

I’ve slept in trucks and borrowed time

Watched good things fall apart

Shook hands with trouble more than once

Let it leave its mark

I ain’t proud of every mile

But I made it this far

Yeah the truth don’t shine like diamonds…

It looks more like scars

Chorus

Show ’em your scars

Don’t hide where you’ve been

Every crack in your armor

Is where you learned to bend

You don’t get this strong

From easy and safe

You get it from livin’

And the hell that you faced

Yeah don’t polish the story

Don’t cover the hard

If you wanna be real…

Show ’em your scars

Verse 2

I’ve lost a few and burned a few

And let some good ones go

Said things I can’t take back

Still carry what I know

I’ve had nights I didn’t think

I’d see another dawn

But the sun don’t care about your past

It just keeps movin’ on

Chorus

Show ’em your scars

Don’t hide where you’ve been

Every crack in your armor

Is where you learned to bend

You don’t get this strong

From easy and safe

You get it from livin’

And the hell that you faced

Yeah don’t polish the story

Don’t cover the hard

If you wanna be real…

Show ’em your scars

Bridge (Outlaw spoken/half-sung)

Everybody wants the legend

Nobody wants the fight

But you don’t earn your name

Without losin’ a few nights

Final Chorus (Lifted)

Show ’em your scars

Let ’em see who you are

Every wrong turn you took

Every busted guitar

You don’t get this voice

From livin’ too clean

You get it from heartbreak

And broken dreams

Yeah the truth ain’t pretty

But it hits you hard

If you ain’t afraid…

Show em

Show em

Show em your scars

We’re all built from the same dust and dreams,
Different roads, but the same means.
