Tattoos Songtext
von Brantley Gilbert

I got my first when I turned 18
You can barely see it, but I know what it means
I got my next on tour Willie Nelson
Cheap motel, yeah, I was high as hell, son
This one′s for my grandpa
This one's for my brothers
Gone, but not forgotten
Some bad motherfuckers
And you ain′t gotta like it, or understand it
My body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas

These ain't just some tattoos
This is who I am
This is what I've been through
This is where I stand
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love
What made a man out of that old boy that I was
And I ain′t going back to
I didn′t get 'em ′cause I had to
But these ain't just some tattoos (these ain′t just some tattoos)


You can judge me by the cover, 'cause, hell, I wrote the book
Hey, what you see is what you get, just look, man
This one′s for the struggle
And this one's for addiction
This one's for forgiveness
And this one′s for redemption

These ain′t just some tattoos
This is who I am
This is what I've been through
This is where I stand
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love
What made a man out of that old boy that I was
And I ain′t going back to
I didn't get ′em 'cause I had to
But these ain′t just some tattoos (these ain't just some tattoos)

This one's for the King who sent His Son to die
This one′s for my queen and my little ones, the loves of my life
Second chances
Yeah, my body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas


These ain′t just some tattoos
These ain't just some tattoos
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love
What made a man out of that old boy that I was
And I ain′t going back to
I didn't get ′em 'cause I had to
But these ain′t just some tattoos (these ain't just some tattoos)

But these ain't just some tattoos
Yeah (tattoos)
