(Verse 1)
I’ve loved a few and lost a lot,
Gave my heart to every shot.
Got burned more times than I can count,
Still stood tall, somehow stood proud.
Pushed around by love and life,
Found my soul in sleepless nights.
But I ain’t done, no, not just yet—
Got some reasons to not forget.
(Chorus)
‘Cause every scar’s a story, every tear’s a mile,
Every heartache taught me how to smile.
I’ve been broken, beaten, nearly gave in—
Thought I’d reached my bitter end.
But two small hands pulled me to my feet,
Two young eyes that look up to me.
My greatest gift, through all the messin’—
A life full of lessons and blessings.
(Verse 2)
Whiskey bottles and midnight prayers,
Thought no one out there really cared.
But little voices call me Dad,
Remind me of the strength I have.
They’re my reason, they’re my fight,
What keeps me goin’ every night.
Through all the pain I’ve come to see—
They’re the best part left of me.
(Chorus)
‘Cause every scar’s a story, every tear’s a mile,
Every heartache taught me how to smile.
I’ve been broken, beaten, nearly gave in—
Thought I’d reached my bitter end.
But two small hands pulled me to my feet,
Two young eyes that look up to me.
My greatest gift, through all the messin’—
A life full of lessons and blessings.
(Bridge)
I don’t need riches, I don’t need fame,
Just a place in their hearts and the pride in my name.
I’ve walked through hell with a heavy heart—
But they’ve been my light from the very start.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, every scar’s a story, every tear’s a mile,
And now they’re why I still smile.
I was broken, beaten, nearly gave in—
But they gave my soul a second wind.
Two small hands pulled me to my feet,
Two young eyes that still believe in me.
They saved my life—no second guessin’—
My boys, my lessons and blessings.
(Outro)
Yeah, this ol’ heart’s been through the testin’...
But I’m still here with my lessons and blessings
