Tattoos

These Tattoos

Like The one on my arm

It was the first time that I swore to you

I’d never break your heart

Now these tattoos

They’re starting to fade away

But these tattoos still got a lot to say

These ol’ boots

They don’t walk in a straight line

But they walked me to the altar

The day I made you mine

Now these ol’ boots

They don’t know how to stay

These ol’ boots

They turned and walked away

Then we’re drawn in to the flame

We keep playing games we know we’ll never win

And after each time it falls apart

I get a little ink on my skin

And each one reminds me of you

That’s why I’m covered with tattoos

This lighter

It’s burned a bridge or two

Like the one you and I built

With honesty and Truth

Now this Lighter

It’s still has a use

It lights the candle I still burn for you.

Then we’re drawn in to the flame

We keep playing games we know we’ll never win

And after each time it falls apart

I get a little ink on my skin

And each one reminds me of you

That’s why I’m covered with tattoos

These tattoos

They can’t show you

What I’ve been through along the way.

But these tattoos

They’re a part of me

And they illustrate the man I am today

Then we’re drawn in to the flame

We keep playing games we know we’ll never win

And after each time it falls apart

I get a little ink on my skin

And each one reminds me of you

Yeah each one reminds me of you

That’s why I’m covered with tattoos

That’s why I’m covered with tattoos
