A confession. A testimony. A healing cry. 💔🔥✨
Honest Scars is a 13-track spiritual journey through the parts of ourselves we’re afraid to say out loud — the pain, the regret, the identity battles, the wounds we hide, and the God who sees every one of them.

This album was written in valleys.
In the quiet moments of regret.
In the battles no one else knew about.
In the places where healing finally broke through. 🙏

With raw lyrics, southern gospel grit, stripped-down authenticity, and soul-deep vocals, Honest Scars pulls back the curtain on hidden struggles and hard-won redemption. These songs don’t pretend. They don’t polish the pain. They tell the truth — because truth is where healing begins.

From the aching regret of “A Guilty Past” and the broken-yet-hopeful honesty of “Every Minute, Every Moment,” to the victorious declaration of “Still Standing,” this album wasn’t created to impress…
It was created to connect.
To anyone who’s carried shame.
To anyone who’s sat in silence.
To anyone still reaching for hope in the dark.

If your scars have a story… this album will speak it.
If your heart needs healing… this album will breathe it.
If you’ve walked through fire… this album will remind you you’re not alone. ✨🔥

Honest Scars

A Guity Past

Track 02 - A Guilty Past

[Verse 1]

I’ve been runnin’ from the memories
Like a sinner from the light.
But every road I take
Turns your shadow into night.
I pour a little bourbon
Just to feel a thing again—
Some scars don’t ever close,
They just learn to live within.

[Chorus]

If love was easy,
I’d lay my head down, get some sleep.
If lettin’ go meant freedom,
I’d be somewhere runnin’ deep.
But I’m stuck here with the pieces
Of a dream we never had—
You took the best of me,
Left me half of what I had.

[Verse 2]

There’s a picture in my wallet
That I swore I’d throw away,
But every time I touch it
I remember how I prayed
For a life we never made it to,
For a man I couldn’t stay—
Now I’m fightin’ with the silence
’Cause it knows me by my name.

[Chorus]

If love was easy,
I’d lay my head down, get some sleep.
If lettin’ go meant freedom,
I’d be somewhere runnin’ deep.
But I’m stuck here with the pieces
Of a dream we never had—
You took the best of me,
Left me half of what I had.

[Outro — Short, Soulful]

Yeah, I’m learnin’ how to stand again
With half of what I had.
Half of what I had.

The three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” has bolstered 26 No. One hits, 15 billion streams and more than 20 million albums sold as "he has blended his own recipe and it’s one that has vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success,” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). Notably, seven of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified PLATINUM or more and he has the most Top 10 song on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, more than any other artists, since making his chart debut in 2005. He continues to be one of a card-carrying member of Country's elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status as his shows are "filled with the perfect mix of rockin’ anthems and raucous drinkin’ songs," (Herald Extra) Aldean will gear up for the road this summer with his ROCK N’ ROLL COWBOY TOUR as the 34-city trek will launch July 15th in Scranton, PA, with special guests Gabby Barrett, John Morgan and Dee Jay Silver. The multi-Platinum singer has also founded Wolf Moon Bourbon, an 80 proof bourbon that has been distilled from Midwestern grains and aged for four years offering a finish of caramel, oak and spice.
