[D]There’s still black marks on that [G]county road, where we drag raced our [D]pickups, and mustangs
And [G]weathered all the [C]sun and [G]rain, [D]and to this day up on that [G]overpass,
Even underneath the [D]new paint, you can still see, “[G]Allie will you [C]marry [G]me?”[D]
[Em]Take a ride, look [G]around, and there ain’t no doubt


[D]It sure left its mark on [G]us, we sure left our mark on [D]it
[D]Let the world know we [G]were here, with everything we [Bm]did
[Bm]Laid a lot of memories [G]down, like tattoos on [D]this town

[D]There’s still a rope burn on that [G]old branch, that hangs over the [D]river,
I still got the scars, from [G]swinging out a [C]little too [G]far [D]
[D]There ain’t a corner of this [G]hallowed ground, that we ain’t laughed or [D]cried on
It’s where we loved, liv[G]ed and learned re[C]al life [G]stuff[G]
[G]It’s everything we’re made of


[D]It sure left its mark on [G]us, we sure left our mark on [D]it
[D]Let the world know we [G]were here, with everything we [Bm]did
[Bm]We laid a lot of memories [G]down, like tattoos on [D]this town [G]
Like tattoos [D]on this town[G]
[Em]Everywhere, there we are, [G]it hits me right, in my heart…


It sure left its mark on [G]us, we sure left our mark on [D]it
Let the world know we were [G]here, with everything we [Bm]did
[Bm]We laid a lot of memories [G]down, [Bm]we’ll always be hanging [G]around,
Like tattoos on this [D]town, [G]like tattoos on [D]this town[G]
