Steve Wariner - Tattoos of Life текст песни

(max d. barnes/steve wariner)

(track 14 - time 3:10)

When youve hitched every highway

And rode all the rails

Youre no longer afraid of the dark

You get tougher than leather and harder than nails

When youve earned all the scars on your heart

Hobos and hereos, bankers and bums

In some ways were all the same

We all have to pay for the deeds that weve done

And wind up just dragging those chains

Life paints a picture that time cant erase

And sometimes it cuts like a knife

Sooner or later one way or another

We all wear the tattoos of life

The glory in living

Is just running the race

Not whether you win or you fail

The lines like a road map

Will show on your face

And your eyes tell the rest of the tale

Life paints a picture that time cant erase

And sometimes it cuts like a knife

Sooner or later one way or another

We all wear the tattoos of life

The tattoos of life
