NewTattoo
18 years and building
Sharing all that can be for two
After our hair has turned completely silver
You're still perfect like a new tattoo
A cheap can of beer in one hand
aGrasped your other hand and haven't let it go
Sometimes you sting me like a new tattoo
Experiences compressing
Years pass by like weeks
Chapters written faster than cars drive down our street
If I could start it over, I'd walk over the same line
Especially the star on my arm from 1999
A little sleep and a couple of lifetimes later
Our kids just prove that it was true
No matter how you think you look this evening
You still look like a new tattoo
18 years and building
Sharing all that can be for two
Now that our hair has turned completely silver
You will always be as perfect as a new tattoo
Zion is Burning
Smell the fire, it looks like Zion is burning
Won’t have to explain to my kids that we were silent
When the bad guys came into town we stood our ground
Some things in life are clear as day
Crowds of hate together under a banner
Ahistorical fiction written out of the anger
When the bad guys came to town we locked arms and gathered around
Some things in life are clear as day
Flames are rising, heads beaten and bloody
Wish there was an end but bigotry is a virus
When the bad guys come back around, again we’ll smash them down
With songs of love and that are clear as day
We’ll shine a light and they’ll run away
We will hold hands, we’ll give them hell to pay
Smell the fire, Zion is burning
