alex williams (country) - old tattoo lyrics

Loading...

mama and grandmother
i know you’re dressed in blue
and tomorrow’s town cries p-ss you by
they won’t have a clue what you’re going through
they won’t have a clue
you lost a father and a husband
just two days ago
to tell the truth, i ain’t never seen
that kinda strength down in the soul, the kind that you hold
down in your soul

[chorus]
cause you know time don’t heal
it’s just fading like the floors of an old saloon
you can hide the pain away
even if it’s carved right into you
like an old tattoo
like an old tattoo

i’m sorry, dear grandfather
i know i’ve showed up late
couldn’t be beside you for your last few breaths
stand by where you laid and tell you all the things
that i forgot to say
it seemed like every christmas
was the closest that we got
it was “how you doing,” “what else is new”
over beers in the garage, and i was always gone
but i love you right or wrong

[chorus]
and i know time don’t heal
it’s just fading like the floors of an old saloon
i can hide the pain away
even if it burns the bitter truth
like an old tattoo

no, it ain’t just ink that lies under the skin
there’s a heart, it gets scarred but never spent

[chorus]
and i know time don’t heal
it’s just fading like the floors of an old saloon
i can hide the pain away
even if it burns the bitter truth
like an old tattoo
like an old tattoo
