Jay Allen - Tattoos to Heaven Lyrics

This one here
I wasn’t all there for
Had too much to drink one night
And stumbled through a door
I got this cross on my arm
Before I knew what a cross was for

That one there
You can still make out her name
Yeah, I thought I loved her once
But all she did was cause me pain
Now she’s covered up
And that’s how she’s gonna stay
Just another drop of ink along the way

I’ll take these tattoos to heaven
Every line, every lesson
The ones I loved and hurt
Along the road I’ve been down
They’re the moments that made me
The woman that saved me
I’ll take ‘em to the grave
And right on up to the clouds
My broken-hearted
Washed in whiskey
Holy confession
Whoa, I’ll take these tattoos to heaven
I’ll take these tattoos to heaven

Momma’s gone
But she ain’t far
She lives on and on
And everyday
Her memory keeps me strong
Now she’s part of me
‘Cause she’s an angel on my arm

And girl, I wish
She could’ve met you
‘Cause you’re everything
She would’ve ever wanted me to choose
In this world
That’s why you’re painted on me, girl

It’s a fight in the rain
A ring down the drain
A drive to Tennessee
It’s a smile at a bar
A kiss in the car
The way you looked at me
It’s a 2am call
Fist through that wall
Cut me like a knife
It’s more than ink
A song, a drink
A map of my whole life
