That’s Just Living

(album: Folks Like Us - 2015)

I took a few stitches right there
One night when I caught a little air
Flying 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 running down a feeling
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 living
It goes to show you paid your dues
It knows you win and knows you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just living
That's just living

Hey girl, lemme dry those tears
Don't cry cause you're leaving
I swear a lot of big things are waiting on you
And we all got to do what we gotta do
I won't lie, this is breaking 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 living
It goes to show you paid your dues
It knows you win and knows you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just living
That's just living

Of all the roads
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 living
It goes to show you paid your dues
It knows you win and knows you lose
Turn the page with no excuse
That's just living
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 living
It goes to show you paid your dues
It knows you win and knows you lose
All the way with no excuse
That's just living
That's just living
