Lyric

Sometimes I forget that it's there

Till somebody asks me,

"Where did you get it and what the hell were you thinking?"

"Oh you must've been drinking."

And I know it don't look like much,

And I need it retouched

Cus the ink's all sun struck and faded

But I wouldn't trade it

When I think of my first tattoo

I think about you and being 18

And carving our names in an old Oak tree

Just teenage dreaming in the backseat

Sneaking out in the middle of the night

High beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car

And wishing for forever on a falling star

And that first time you let it go too far

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you

Yeah that cross on my back is there for Grandad

And I know he's upstairs with the big man

But damn do I miss him

I'm just reminiscing

This one here on my chest

Was a spring break bet

In some gulf shore town right outside of Panama City

Cost me a buck fifty

When I think of my first tattoo

I think about you and being 18

And carving our names in an old Oak tree

Just teenage dreaming in the backseat

Sneaking out in the middle of the night

High beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car

And wishing for forever on a falling star

And that first time you let it go too far

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you

I got stories for days,

Wouldn't take back mistakes,

Yeah I could go on and on

The ink might fade,

And the people might change

But the memories sure as hell don't

When I think of my first tattoo

I think about you and being 18

And carving our names in an old Oak tree

Just teenage dreaming in the backseat

Sneaking out in the middle of the night

High beam headlights in Daddy's muscle car

And wishing for forever on a falling star

And that first time you let it go too far

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you

When I think of that first tattoo

Yeah I think of you
