Lyrics
Your mom’s tattoo makes me crazy in the morning
It’ll turn a sheepish man red
I got an arrow in my heart one drunken night on sixth street
I just didn’t see it coming from her bed.
What kind of lady bears a tattoo of a dead man
The kind that spits and chews you up
My daddy told me son, she’ll get you into trouble
Your momma made me forget all the rules
There’s a place, let’s get on outta here
There’ll be slingers there and bands and girls….and beer
Maybe chasing all that beer was chasing after your momma
Might be something I shouldn’t do
Here comes another girl like her and on her back’s a tramp stamp
That’s my new favorite style of tattoo
We ain’t no rebels, just runnin’ up the tab
Your mom’s tattoo it really makes me glad
There’s a place, let’s get on outta here
There’ll be slingers there and bands and girls…..and beer
I like your mom’s tattoo
