Tattoos On This Town
Jason Aldean · My Kinda Party [2010]
There's still black marks on that county road,
where we drag raced our pick ups, and mustangs
And weathered on the summer rain
And to this day up on that overpass,
even underneath the new paint, you can still see,
"Allie will you marry me?"
Take a ride, look around
There ain't no doubt
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down, like tattoo's on this town
There's still a rope burn on the old branch,
that hangs over the river, I still got the scares
From swinging out a little too far
There ain't a corner of this hallowed ground,
that we ain't laughed or cried on, it's where loved,
Lived and learned a lotta stuff
It's everything we're made of
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down, like tattoo's on this town
Like tattoo's on this town
Everywhere, it's where we are
It gets me right, in my heart
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down,
But we'll always be hangin' round, like tattoo's on this town
Like tattoo's on this town
where we drag raced our pick ups, and mustangs
And weathered on the summer rain
And to this day up on that overpass,
even underneath the new paint, you can still see,
"Allie will you marry me?"
Take a ride, look around
There ain't no doubt
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down, like tattoo's on this town
There's still a rope burn on the old branch,
that hangs over the river, I still got the scares
From swinging out a little too far
There ain't a corner of this hallowed ground,
that we ain't laughed or cried on, it's where loved,
Lived and learned a lotta stuff
It's everything we're made of
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down, like tattoo's on this town
Like tattoo's on this town
Everywhere, it's where we are
It gets me right, in my heart
It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lotta memories down,
But we'll always be hangin' round, like tattoo's on this town
Like tattoo's on this town
