[Verse 1]
Clock in
Concrete
Locked doors
But my head’s out past the Gulf shore
See a contrail scratchin’ that blue
Thinkin’ one day
That’s my view
Badge on my chest
Ring on my hand
You in the kitchen
Hummin’
Dancin’ to a pan
Smell of coffee
Ink on my sleeves
You trace every line
Say
“Baby
Don’t leave” (mm)
[Chorus]
I’m covered in ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
Seven cats on the counter
Two dogs at my feet
Got a pistol by the nightstand
Plane books by the bed
And your fingers in my hair
Sayin’ “Fly
Go ahead” (yeah)
From these razor-wire roads to that big blue sky
You’re my runway light
My reason why
Ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
And you ridin’ shotgun with me
[Verse 2]
Florida heat stickin’ to my vest
Countin’ hours
Countin’ down stress
Tattoos peek from a rolled-up sleeve
Every mark a promise I plan to keep
Blueprints
Pull-ups
Late-night runs
You quiz me on acronyms
Laugh when I’m done
You kiss my neck right over that wing
Say
“I married a man who was born to leave… and bring it all back to me”
[Chorus]
I’m covered in ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
Seven cats on the counter
Two dogs at my feet
Got a pistol by the nightstand
Plane books by the bed
And your fingers in my hair
Sayin’ “Fly
Go ahead” (fly, go ahead)
From these razor-wire roads to that big blue sky
You’re my runway light
My reason why
Ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
And you ridin’ shotgun with me
[Bridge]
If they call my name at dawn
Will you feed the zoo
Leave the porch light on?
You just smile
Say
“Babe
I knew
You’d trade these bars for a bigger view” (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m covered in ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
Seven cats on the counter
Two dogs at my feet
Got a pistol by the nightstand
Plane books by the bed
And your fingers in my hair
Sayin’ “Fly
Go ahead”
From these razor-wire roads to that big blue sky
You’re my runway light
My reason why
Ink
Fur
And jet fuel dreams
And you
And you
And you
Always ridin’ shotgun with me
