verse2 The old man poured some coffee He said this one's on me Sat down his cigarette and rolled up his sleeve Said take a good look here my friend You see what these are Just my ragged old and jagged ordinary scars chorus 2 He said I got this one in Paris in a war 'fore 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 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 You know the way I see it, you've been 'round but you're still green Cause tattoos and scars are different things A young kid stepped in from the cold And he ordered up a drink He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think
