Well Davy had a daddy

Who had trouble standing on his own two feet

After the factory closed down

He took to swinging and mama took the heat

Well Davy had been thinking, ‘bout how

Blood follow blood when you get stuck livin' in a town like this

She said “I gotta take away from this mountain”

And she started heading west

Chorus

‘Cause it’s a hard, hard world

You better keep on getting harder

Or you find out

There's just something about them scars

Yeah Davy got to leavin'

Got halfway across Tennessee

She blew across the mountains

Only to break down in the valley

Yeah down on her knees thinking

‘Bout how you can’t be sure how things will be

Shе got up off her knees there

Figurеd it's easier walking on her feet

[Chorus]

She's gone a thousand miles now

Through all the heat and through the freeze

Could teach a pretty lesson

To all the little grown ups bots you see

How she's walking with desire

Where she wrote her name in blood out on these streets

Holds her head a little higher

‘Cause she changed the course of her history

[Chorus]

There is just something about them scars
