Tattoos and Tequila

I got this one here on a midnight dare at a border town
Every time he stuck that needle in my skin, she had to look away
Had him put it right here on my chest, over my heart
That Rose of Jericho looks so good painted underneath her name
It hurt like hell, yeah, but it was worth the pain

When I’m missing her, I take another shot
I know it ain’t the cure, but right now, it’s all I got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember, tequila to forget

Just another neon-rollercoaster Friday night
Bartender wiping down that bar while he keeps an eye on me
And I sure hope he ain’t about to cut me off
‘Cause I’m only one or two away
From getting my head where it needs to be

When I’m missing her, I take another shot
I know it ain’t the cure, but right now, it’s all I got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember and tequila to forget

Yeah, it hurt like hell
Mmm, but it was worth the pain

When I’m missing her, I take another shot
I know it ain’t the cure
When I’m missing her, I pour another shot
I know it ain’t the cure, but right now, it’s all I got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember and tequila to forget

Mmm, yeah
