We Fought Hard

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
