Tattoo of Jesus

I sat down on this chair
I said man, put her right there
An inch below my sleeve
Just low enough so that I can see
He ink stained my skin
Needle made me bleed
It was only on the surface
But it went so deep

It's a constant reminder
Of who I am and where I've been
How and where I'm going
And the reason I'm still here
It's a picture of forgiveness
Of peace, hope and love
And all that I believe in
That's just between us
Me and my tattoo of Jesus

He said
Man what brings you here?
I said, whiskey and lonely tears
A life of ups and downs
Getting lost, being found, he said
I completely understand
'Cause I've been right where you are
And that's why I put my mine
Right here over my heart

As a constant reminder
Of who I am and where I've been
How and where I'm going
And the reason I'm still here
It's a picture of forgiveness
Of peace, hope and love
And all that I believe in
That's just between us
Me and my tattoo of Jesus

Whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa

It's a constant reminder
Of who I am and where I've been
How and where I'm going
And the reason I'm still here
It's a picture of forgiveness
Of peace, hope and love
And all that I believe in
That's just between us
Me and my tattoo of Jesus
My tattoo of Jesus
My tattoo of Jesus
