My big brother broke my arm Rough housing out in our back yard He'd hold me down till I couldn't breathe Still think he put the tough in me We fought hard We both dated Katie Lee He swore he kissed her before me We saw her out with a boy named Jack When it all went down I had his back And we fought hard We fought hard, we fought real No, you couldn't tell us different We thought we were made of steel We went all in, we gave 'em hell Every loss and every victory Is a story we could tell These sweet scars They left their mark We fought hard They shipped us out 2001 To a battle in the desert sun I won't lie, I was scared But at least I had my brother there We fought hard We fought hard, we fought real No, you couldn't tell us different We thought we were made of steel We went all in, we gave 'em hell Every loss and every victory Is a story we could tell These sweet scars They left their mark We fought hard Rode in the plane that brought him home Couldn't let him come back all alone I met my Mama at the gate And all that I could think to say Was: Mama, we fought hard we fought real Though you tried to tell us different We thought we were made of steel We went all in, we gave 'em hell I never thought this'd be the story That I'd ever have to tell These sweet scars They leave their mark We fought hard
