Intro This is the same Mandolin Intro from the original song
Opener different music & lyrics at Middle Break an Closer
The pictures tell the story,
This life had many shades,
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start
each day
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette,
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and (then be on my way) Allemande Left an Weave
I traveled far and wide, And
laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass, (I saw beauty to the north) Swing and Promenade
I drew the tales of many lives, And
wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me, So I wouldn't be alone
In a rose tattoo, In a rose
tattoo, I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo, In a rose tattoo, I've got your name written here, Allemande Left an Weave
This one means the most to me, It
stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course, (An anchor for my every choice) Swing and Promenade
A rose that shines down from above, I signed and
sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song, It played again and we sang along
Tag Theres a short Mandolin ending

In a rose tattoo, In a rose tattoo, I've got your name written here Swing and Promenade
Followed by a short Mandolin Instrumental

Some may be from showing up, Others
are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up Swing and Promenade
I ain't winning no one over, I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here, Sides
