Tattoo On My Heart
(Bill Weisband)
I was just 11 years old
When I got my first Tattoo
It's right here on my heart
Look it's a picture of you
You've got your eyes rolled back
You're laying on the ground
You're having a heart attack
Surrounded by a crowd
Yea it gets under my skin
Like a baby that won't stop crying
Like a 45 record that spins
again and again and again
Yea it's on the tenderest part
Just one look and I'm falling apart
Yea I've got a tattoo on my heart
Now picture this
I walk into he house on April 25th
Your drunk as a sailor screamin
Your Daddy was in Jail
He had a 45 on his lap
A bullet in the chamber
The hammer pulled back
I Said Dad you gonna shoot her
Well I'll never forget
watching his heart Break
Yea it gets under my skin
Like a baby that won't stop crying
Like a 45 record that spins
Again and again and again
Yea it's on the tenderest part
Just one look and I'm falling apart
Yea I've got a tattoo on my heart
It's bluer than blue
Like the ink of a pen
I'd like to show it to you
But it's so hard to let you in
