montgomery gentry - tattoos and scars lyrics
young kid steps in from the cold
he ordered up a drink
he says don’t look surprised old man
i’m older than you think
if i was the talking kind
i could tell you a thing or two
and since you didn’t ask
let me show you my tattoos
he said i got this rose in memphis
in some back old alley dump
picked this eagle up in dallas
man i sure was good and drunk
and you know the way i see it
if it gets any worse out there
a guy like me hasn’t got a prayer
the old man poured some coffee
he said this one’s on me
set down his cigarette
and rolled up his sleeve
said take a good look here my friend
do you see what these are
just my ragged old and jagged old and faded scars
he said i got this one in paris
in a war ‘fore you were born
and this one when i was half your age
working on my daddy’s farm
and u know the way i see it
son you ain’t what i seen
’cause tattoos and scars are different things
he said i’ve been here for all these years
and what i know is this
if you look and listen close a man will show you what he is
and you know the way i see it
you’ve been ’round, but you’re still green
’cause tattoos and scars are different things
young kid steps in from the cold
orders up a drink
he said don’t look surprised old man
i’m older than you think
