John Michael Montgomery - This One's Gonna 'Leave A Mark' lyrics

(John Michael Montgomery/David Lee/Johnny Park/Elbert West)

I've crashed and burned my old Firebird

And walked away without a scratch

And I've had my share of backwoods barroom brawls

Been kicked and cussed and busted up

But it was nothin' I couldn't patch

With a Band-Aid or a shot of alcohol

But this one's gonna leave a mark

One that time won't heal

Her good-bye cut like a knife

Right through this man of steel

Thought that I was tough enough

I could just shake it off

But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all

I know deep down in my heart

This one's gonna leave a mark

Lovers came and went but never made a dent

But none were quite like her

I was a fool to not beg her to stay

Filled with pride I just stood by

And never said one word

But I knew the moment that she walked away

This one's gonna leave a mark

One that time won't heal

Her good-bye cut like a knife

Right through this man of steel

Thought that I was tought enough

I could just shake it off

But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all

I know deep down in my heart

This one's gonna leave a mark

Thought I was Superman

With a heart of stone and I couldn't feel

Now here I am

Standing all alone and here's the deal

This one's gonna leave a mark

One that time won't heal

Her good-bye cut like a knife

Right through this man of steel

Thought that I was tought enough

I could just shake it off

But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all

I know deep down in my heart

This one's gonna leave a mark

I've crashed and burned my old Firebird

And walked away without a scratch
