A boat named you.

She got a rose on the left, and a dagger on the right

Little inked-up story ‘neath her cotton-white tight

When she leans in close, and that shirt slips low

Lord, I lose my words and my sense of control

She’s a masterpiece drawn by a wild free hand

With curves like waves crashin’ soft on the sand

But the one that gets me—ain’t the skull or the flame

It’s that tiny old boat floatin’ under her name

That boat tattoo, sittin’ right there

Got me dreamin’ ‘bout driftin’ in that salty air

I wanna motorboat ’em like I’m out at sea

With the wind in my face and her holdin’ me

Yeah, I’d hoist those sails and ride that tide

Captain of her curves on a moonlit night

Her titty tattoos got me actin’ a fool

And that boat right there? Man, that boat named You

She said it’s from summers down on Galveston Bay

When her heart got broke but the ink stayed

Now every time I lay my head on her chest

I whisper sweet nothings to the S.S. “Hot Mess”

It’s port and starboard, with a soft tattoo glow

And I’m lost at sea in her undertow

Forget the compass, I don’t need a map

Just give me that view and a midday nap

That boat tattoo, sittin’ right there

Got me dreamin’ ‘bout driftin’ in that salty air

I wanna motorboat ’em like I’m out at sea

With the wind in my face and her holdin’ me

Yeah, I’d hoist those sails and ride that tide

Captain of her curves on a moonlit night

Her titty tattoos got me actin’ a fool

And that boat right there? Man, that boat named You

She’s my anchor, my whiskey, my shore

Got me beggin’ for ink and beggin’ for more

With a giggle she says, “Boy, behave…”

But I’m lost in her ocean, ridin’ every wave

That boat tattoo, sittin’ right there

Like a siren’s call in the midnight air

I wanna motorboat ’em like I’m deep out blue

With nothin’ but her, and a hull named You

Yeah, I’d dock for days in that velvet tide

Crashin’ her waves till the stars collide

Her titty tattoos, Lord what can I do?

When that boat says Mine, and her smile says You
