Tattoos and bruises, two burning fuses Hot as the sun, loud as a gun For all those years Drinking at dive bars, rode bikes never had a car It was alright just getting by When you were near I'm trying to forget I try my very best I try You kept your wallet in your back left pocket Denim and steel, ain't gonna feel Like it did back then Drop another quarter in so I can hear that record spin My favorite song, used to sing along Again and again I'm trying to forget I try my very best I try A thousand dimes in a mason jar Wondered what you were saving for Too young to see that you'd never be my only man Thinking about when you left that day There wasn't anything I could say That would bring us back to what we had I understand I'm trying to forget I try my very best I try I'm trying to forget I try my very best I try Tattoos and bruises, like two lit fuses Burned like the sun, loud as a gun For all those years Drinking at dive bars, rode bikes never had a car Only a blur the way that we were all those years Only a blur the way we were all those years
