Ray Kennedy Scars
Right through the wing of his eagle tattoo
Jake pointed out where the bullet passed through
Pete said, "That ain't nothin," as he pulled off his
hat
"It took fifty-seven stitches to put my hairline back"
Red rolled up his shirt and laughed, said, "Boy's, I'll
top that"
Showed them where a bucking brama bull nearly stomped
him right in half
Scars, everyone's got a story
A tall tale of glory
A flesh and blood reminder
Of how fragile we are
The stranger he just sat there till the last one was
through
And old Carter said, "Hey buddy! How about you?"
His lips began to tremble and a tear run from his eye
As told about the woman who destroyed his life
"The worst wound in the whole wide world never leaves a
mark
'Cause all I have's a hole where I used to have a
heart"
Scars, everyones got a story
A different tale of glory
You ain't lived till you've got scars
You ain't loved till you've got scars
