Blood and Tattoos

Blood and Tattoos 

Black ink like my heart
Covers my skin 
Covers my scars
Brings me back again
To all those dreams
That became my lies
Another day 
Another life

Blood and tattoos 
Whiskey and you
The pain it hurts
But it keeps me true
I'd try to forget
But I can't undo
This blood and tattoos
Whiskey and you

The years have passed
And your still there
In my mind 
In my stare 
I drive all night
I drive all day 
I try and I try
But I can't escape

Blood and tattoos 
Whiskey and you
The pain it hurts
But it keeps me true
I'd try to forget 
But I can't undo
So it's blood and tattoos
Whiskey and you

The birds they sing
Of a brighter day
So I get them tattooed
To carry me away
But not to you
Cause I know the truth
Dreams they really don't come true

It's blood and tattoos 
Whiskey and you
The pain it hurts
But it keeps me true
I'd try to forget
But I can't undo
This blood and tattoos
Whiskey and you
Yeah it's blood and tattoos

And memories of you
