His first taste of whiskey was a slow, smooth burn
That set his rebel mouth on fire
Gave him courage to speak his mind
To the bouncers, boyfriends and liars
Five broken bones and two marriages later
He was crowned the town agitator…now…
He's dry as a bone in an Arizona desert
Gentle as a baby on a pillow full of feathers
He's off rock bottom and that's a real good start
But he'll always be bruised and BOTTLE SCARRED
Well he finally found Jesus, got a job at the mill,
And a brand new outlook on life
He's repairing the bridges burned
With his family, friends and ex-wives
Some are forgiving his drinking and sinning
But most still need more convincing...that ...
REPEAT CHORUS
No matter how good his life gets it’ll never be the same
Since he killed his brain cells off and smeared the family name… but…
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, he'll always be bruised and BOTTLE SCARRED
