Tattoos & Scars

作曲 : Lane

Young kid stepped in from the cold, he ordered up a drink

He said don't look surprised old man

I'm older than you think

If I was the talkin' 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

MemphisIn some back old alley dump picked this eagle up in

DallasMan,

I sure was good and drunk and you know the way

I see itIf 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

Take a good look here my friend, you see what these are

Just my ragged old and jagged ordinary 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 workin' on my daddy's farm

And you know the way

I see it son, you ain't seen what

I've 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, you know the way

I see itYou've been 'round but you're still green'

Cause tattoos and scars are different things

Young kid stepped in from the cold and he ordered up a drink

He said don't look surprised old man

I'm older than you think
