Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a cigarette burnin' a leather seat Of a Ford Fairlane Dad gave to me It's a love letter written down in spray paint Screamin' "I love Katie" to the interstate It's a hole in the wall behind a picture frame A football jersey with an old grass stain Tin cans tied to the back of a car That's life leavin' its mark [Chorus] That's just life leavin' its mark Through lifelines, tattoos, and scars All the good and bad are colors on a canvas One big work of art, that's life leavin' its mark [Verse 2] It's a baseball trophy from the big game Still standin' at the high school in a glass case A chewed up cushion on the family couch An old dog collar on an old dog house A bump on the belly, a mark on the door Three inches taller than the year before It's another pack of Huggies in the shoppin' cart That's life leavin' its mark [Chorus] Well, that's just life leavin' its mark Through lifelines, tattoos, and scars All the good and bad are colors on a canvas One big work of art, that's life leavin' its mark [Verse 3] It's three generations worth of farmland Where a brand new interstate cut in half A mall in the middle of a corn field They're straightenin' up country for a curb appeal Faith could in a church be takin' down For some brand new apartments at the edge of town It's a sign sayin' God is in our hearts [Chorus] Well, that's just life leavin' its mark Through lifelines, tattoos, and scars All the good and bad are colors on a canvas One big work of art, that's life leavin' its mark That's life leavin' its mark
