Tattoos&Scars

Montgomery Gentry Tattoos&Scars Lyrics
1.All Night Long


2.Tattoos & Scars

young kid stepped in from the cold, ordered up a drink
He said dont be surprised old man i'm older than you think
If i was the talkin kind i could tell you a thing or two
And since you didnt ask let me show you my tattoos
He said i got this rose in memphis in some back old alley dump
Picked this eagle up in dallas man i sure was good and drunk
And you know the way i see it if it gets any worse out there a
guy like me
Hasnt got a prayerthe old man poured some coffee said this ones
on me
Set down his cigarettes and rolled up his sleeves
Take a good look here my friend you see what these are
Just my ragged old and jagged ordinary? scar
He said i got this one in paris in a war fore you were born
And this one when i was half your age workin on my daddys farm
And you know the way i see it son you aint seen what i seen
Cuz tattoos and scars are different things
He said i've been here for all these years
And what i know is this if you look and listen close
A man will show you what he is
You know the way i see it you been round but you're still green
Cuz tattoos and scars are different things
Young kid stepped in from the cold ordered up a drink
Said dont look surprised old man im older than you think

6.If A Broken Heart Could Kill

I never had, a broken bone
I hardly ever, get a cold
I keep myself, in pretty good shape
But i know i wouldn't be here today

If a broken heart could kill, i be long gone
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust by now
Six feet under, a tombstone on the hill
Lying there alone, in my new wooden home
If a broken heart could kill

I run the rapids, jump from a plane
Been through earthquakes, and hurricanes
I've climbed mountains, been a rodeo clown
But after you i'm lucky i'm still around

If a broken heart could kill, i be long gone
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust by now
Six feet under, a tombstone on the hill
Lying there alone, in my new wooden home
If a broken heart could kill

Yeah i be heaven ground, on my way down
If a broken heart could kill

8.Trying To Survive


9.Self Made Man

(jay knowles/wynn varble)

I could say it's all her fault
She never had any patience at all
I'm a complicated guy
And she didn't try to understand

I could claim i had nothing to do
With the fact i'm lonesome and blue
But that wouldn't be true
I'm a self made man

Yeah i'm the one that fooled around
And let the one who loved me down
She had more of me than she could stand
I blamed everyone but me
But now that it's too late i see
Nobody helped me get to where i am
I'm a self made man

I could blame it on the way i was raised
Or i could say i was just to afraid
To lay my heart in somebody else's hands
I could always make one more excuse
But in the end what's the use
I might as well face
I'm a self made man

Yeah i'm the one that fooled around
And let the one who loved me down
She had more of me than she could stand
I blamed everyone but me
But now that it's too late i see
Nobody helped me get to where i am
I'm a self made man

Oh i blamed everyone but me
But now that its to late i see
Nobody helped me get to where i am
I'm a self made man
Self made man
Self made man
I can't blame anybody but me


10.Daddy Won't Sell The Farm.

(steve fox/robin branda)

His cows get loose and run right thru the fast food parking lots
And daddy gets calls from the mini-malls
When they're downwind from his hogs.
When his tractor backs up traffic, the reception ain't too warm.
The city's growing around him, but daddy won't sell the farm.

You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep.
You can't pull roots when they run that deep.
He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm.
Daddy won't sell the farm.

He worked and slaved in '68, he bought these fields and trees.
He raised his corn and a big red barn and a healthy family.
He learned to love the woodlands, he can't stand to do them
harm.
There's concrete all around him, but daddy won't sell the farm.

You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep.
You can't pull roots when they run that deep.
He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm.
Daddy won't sell the farm.

One day he's gonna leave it all to me and i'll start my own
branch of the
Family tree. they'll get the message written on the roof of the
barn,
Daddy
Won't sell the farm.

You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep.
You can't pull roots when they run that deep.
He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm.
Daddy won't sell the farm.

We're gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm.
Daddy won't sell the farm.
Oh you know a country boy can survive.


11.Lonely & Gone

(dave gibson/greg crowe/bill mccorvey)

Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper
Found my key, and unlocked the door
I walked in, felt like a stranger
Like i'd never, been there before
And as i wandered room to room
It was silent as a tomb

Coulda heard a tear drop, coulda heard a heart break
Never saw the flood come, even though i felt the rain
Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories
Where there used to be a happy home
In the house on the corner of lonely and gone

If she talked about leavin, i wasn't listenin
If she showed me a sign, well i never saw
Did she stop believin, did i stop givin
Can't put my finger on what went wrong
Now the quietest noise i'm told
Is the sound of letting go.

Coulda heard a tear drop, coulda heard a heart break
Never saw the flood come, even though i felt the rain
Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories
Where there used to be a happy home
In the house on the corner of lonely and gone

Oh never heard a house sound, so loud with memories
Where there used to be a happy home
In the house on the corner, in the house on the corner
Of lonely and gone


12.Hillbilly Shoes

(mike geiger/woody mullis/bobby taylor)

I was there when the men came, and told us all the news
Father forgive them for they know not what they do
Till they walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes

You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath
You think you know me but you ain't seen nothing yet
Till you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes

You work all day in the muck and the mire
Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire
Ain't too much these boots cant do
Might even kick a little sense into you

Well i'm going up cripple creek going in a run
Going up cripple creek to have a little fun
Law man said they found some tracks
People saw them leavin but they never come back

Oh, you don't know me, you don't know, you don't know you don't
know
Till you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes
