[Verse 1]

I got my first when I turned eighteen

You can barely see it, but I know what it means

I got my next on tour Willie Nelson

Cheap motel, yeah, I was high as hell, son

This one's for my grandpa

This one's for my brothers

Gone, but not forgotten

Some bad motherfuckers

And you ain't gotta like it, or understand it

My body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas

[Chorus]

These ain't just some tattoos

This is who I am

This is what I've been through

This is where I stand

This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love

What made a man out of that old boy that I was

And I ain't going back to

I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to

But these ain't just some tattoos

(But these ain't just some tattoos)

[Verse 2]

You can judge me by the cover, 'cause, hell, I wrote the book

Hey, what you see is what you get, just look, man

This one's for the struggle

And this one's for addiction

This one's for forgiveness

And this one's for redemption

[Chorus]

These ain't just some tattoos

This is who I am

This is what I've been through

This is where I stand

This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love

What made a man out of that old boy that I was

And I ain't going back to

I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to

But these ain't just some tattoos

(But these ain't just some tattoos)

[Bridge]

This one's for the King who sent His Son to die

This one's for my queen and my little ones, the loves of my life

Second chances

Yeah, my body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas

[Chorus]

These ain't just some tattoos

These ain't just some tattoos

This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love

What made a man out of that old boy that I was

And I ain't going back to

I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to

But these ain't just some tattoos

(But these ain't just some tattoos)

[Outro]

But these ain't just some tattoos

Yeah

(Tattoos)
