Bad Tattoo Lyrics by Cannons

Heartbeat Highway

2023

[Verse 1]
Take a minute, remember the past
Keep it all in view
Takin' it in with a knife in my back
A wound that's waiting to heal
I should regret it, but I don't
Should cover it up, but I won't
It's that vision of you
Like a bad tattoo (Bad tattoo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Still learning to take my time
Gonna make mistakes
You know, even when the sun don't shine
Yeah, I still got faith
Gonna let my broken pieces tell the truth

[Chorus]
Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

[Verse 2]
Did I learn about love in the back of a car? Yeah
Did I learn about trust in the ring with suffering?
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (Bad tattoo)

[Chorus]
Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

[Pre-Chorus]
Still learning to take my time
Gonna make mistakes
You know, even when the sun don't shine
Yeah, I still got faith
Gonna let my broken pieces tell the truth

[Chorus]
Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

[Outro]
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (Bad tattoo)
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (Bad tattoo)
