Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama keeps the letters in a box beneath the bed
Daddy keeps a tally of the wrong turns that I’ve made
At Sunday dinner, every chair knows my name
They pass the blame around like a little family game
I walked out with a wallet and a borrowed pair of boots
One clean shirt, a busted watch, and nothing left to lose
The mirror in the hallway said, “Boy, you’re headed south”
So I drew a line across my skin and let it speak out loud
[Chorus]
Just get that tattoo
Let the needle tell the truth
If they already call you trouble
Give them something they can’t undo
Just get that tattoo
Wear the proof beneath your sleeve
I may be the family disappointment
But I’m finally someone I believe
[Verse 2]
My sister sent a message: “You should think this through”
My brother laughed and said, “That’s exactly what you’d do”
I found an old photograph, me at seventeen
Still waiting for permission from a house that never dreamed
The artist drew a crooked flame, black ink and battered gold
A little heart with a crack through it, brave enough to show
The room smelled like antiseptic, the radio played low
I watched my old life loosen when the first dark line took hold
[Chorus]
Just get that tattoo
Let the needle tell the truth
If they already call you trouble
Give them something they can’t undo
Just get that tattoo
Wear the proof beneath your sleeve
I may be the family disappointment
But I’m finally someone I believe
[Bridge]
I don’t need a blessing from a bloodline full of doubt
I don’t need their careful map to find my way out
Every mark is a milepost, every scar a door
If I’m the one they warned you of, I won’t apologize anymore
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Just got that tattoo
Now the needle’s singing through
If they already call me trouble
I’ll make trouble honest too
Just got that tattoo
Let the whole house disagree
I may be the family disappointment
But I’m finally standing here as me
[Outro]
Mama keeps the letters in a box beneath the bed
Daddy keeps a tally, but I’m done counting what they said
The ink is still bleeding, but the old fear’s turning blue
They can keep their disappointment
I’ve got something true
