A YOUNG KID STEPPED IN FROM THE COLD AND HE ORDERED UP A DRINK
HE SAID DON'T LOOK SURPRISED OLE MAN I'M OLDER THAN YOU THINK
IF I WAS THE TALKIN' KIND I COULD TELL YOU A THING OR TWO
AND SINCE YOU DIDN'T ASK LET ME SHOW YOU MY TATTOOS
CHORUS:
HE SAID I GOT THIS ROSE IN MEMPHIS IN SOME BACK OLD ALLEY DUMP
PICKED THIS EAGLE UP IN DALLAS MAN I SURE WAS GOOD AND DRUNK
AND YOU KNOW THE WAY I SEE IT IF IT GETS ANY WORSE OUT THERE
A GUY LIKE ME HASN'T GOT A PRAYER
THE OLD MAN POURED SOME COFFEE AND HE SAID THIS ONE'S ON ME
SET DOWN HIS CIGARETTE AND THEN ROLLED UP HIS SLEEVE
SAID TAKE A GOOD LOOK HERE MY FRIEND DO YOU SEE WHAT THESE ARE
JUST MY RAGGED OLD AND JAGGED ORDINARY SCARS
CHORUS:
HE SAID I GOT THIS ONE IN PARIS IN THE WAR BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
AND THIS ONE WHEN I WAS HALF YOUR AGE WORKIN' ON MY DADDY'S FARM
AND YOU KNOW THE WAY I SEE IT SON YOU AIN'T SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
'CAUSE TATTOOS AND SCARS ARE DIFFERENT THINGS
BRIDGE:
HE SAID I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALL THESE YEARS AND WHAT I KNOW IS THIS
IF YOU LOOK AND LISTEN CLOSE A MAN WILL SHOW YOU WHAT HE IS
AND YOU KNOW THE WAY I SEE IT YOU'VE BEEN AROUND BUT YOU'RE STILL GREEN
'CAUSE TATTOOS AND SCARS ARE DIFFERENT THINGS
