Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The pictures tell the story
This life had many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and then be on my way
[Verse 2]
I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn't be alone
[Chorus]
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Chorus]
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Verse 3]
This one's for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This one's for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This one's for my family name
With pride I'll wear it to the grave
[Chorus]
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Chorus]
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Verse 4]
This one means the most to me
It stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard 'em once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along
[Bridge]
You'll always be here with me
Even if you're gone
You'll always have my love
Our memory will live on
[Chorus]
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Outro]
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
With pride, I'll wear it to the grave for you
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
