Rose Tattoo |
| 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 nights cigarette |
| That smoldered in its tray |
| Down a little something and then be on my way |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| In a rose tattoo |
| In a rose tattoo |
| I've got your name written here |
| In a rose tattoo |
| This ones for the mighty sea |
| Mischief, gold and piracy |
| This ones 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 ones for my family name |
| With pride I wear it to the grave |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 them once, sung in a song |
| It played again and we sang along |
| You'll always be here with me |
| Even if you're gone |
| You'll always have my love |
| Our memory will live on |
| 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 |
| 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 |
