My big brother broke my arm 
Roughhousing out in our backyard 
He'd hold me down till 
I couldn't breathe 
Still think he put the tough in me, we fought hard 
We both dated 
Katy 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, 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 that 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 that left their mark 
We fought hard 
Rode in the plane, 
I brought him home 
Couldn't let him come back all alone 
I met my mama at the gate 
And all that 
I could think is 
Was mama, we fought hard 
And 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
