First Tattoo Lyrics by Chris Colston

Bombs Away

2020

[Verse 1]
\nYeah, sometimes I forget that it's there till somebody asks me
\n"Where did you get it, and what the hell where you thinkin'?
\nOh, you must of been drinkin'"
\nAnd I know it don't look like much and I need it re-touched
\n'Cause the ink's all sun struck and faded
\nBut I wouldn't trade it
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWhen I think of my first tattoo
\nI think about you and bein' 18
\nAnd carvin' our names in an old oak tree
\nJust teenage dreamin' in the backseat
\nSneakin' out in the middle of the night
\nHigh beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car
\nAnd wishin' for forever on a fallen star
\nAnd that first time you let it go too far
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nYeah, the cross on my back is there for Grandad
\nAnd I know he's upstairs with the big man
\nBut, damn, do I miss him
\nI'm just really missin'
\nAnd this one here on my chest was a spring break bet
\nOn some gulf shore town right outside of Panama City
\nCost me a buck fifty
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWhen I think of my first tattoo
\nI think about you and bein' 18
\nCarvin' our names in an old oak tree
\nJust teenage dreamin' in the backseat
\nSneakin' out in the middle of the night
\nHigh beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car
\nAnd wishin' for forever on a fallen star
\nAnd that first time you let it go too far
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nI got stories for days, I wouldn't take back mistakes
\nYeah, I can go on and on
\nThe ink might fade, the people might change
\nBut the memories sure as hell don't
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWhen I think of my first tattoo
\nI think about you and bein' 18
\nCarvin' our names in an old oak tree
\nJust teenage dreamin' in the backseat
\nSneakin' out in the middle of the night
\nHigh beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car
\nAnd wishin' for forever on a fallen star
\nAnd that first time you let it go too far
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you
\nWhen I think of that first tattoo, yeah, I think of you\n\n
