LYRICS
There's still black marks on that county road Where we drag raced our pickups and
mustangsAnd weathered all the sun and rain And to this day up on that overpass Even
underneath the new paint, you can still see Ali will you marry me Take a ride, look around There
ain't no doubt It sure left its mark on us, we sure left our mark on it We let the world know we
were here with everything we did We laid a lot of memories down like tattoos on this town
There's still a rope burn on that oak branch That hangs over the river, I still got the scar From
swinging out a little too far There ain't a corner of this hallowed ground That we ain't laughed
or cried on It's where we loved, lived and learned real life stuff It's everything we're made of It
sure left its mark on us, we sure left our mark on it We let the world know we were here with
everything we did We laid a lot of memories down like tattoos on this town Like tattoos on this
town Everywhere, there we are It hits me right in my heart It sure left its mark on us, we sure
left our mark on it We let the world know we were here with everything we did We laid a lot of
memories down And we'll always be hanging around like tattoos on this town Like tattoos on
this town

There's still black marks on that county
road.
This phrase “There's still black marks on that county road.” When
I hear that it reminds me of black marks left from when someone
was peeling out across the rode
There's still a rope burn on that oak branch
When I here this it reminds me of a rope
somebody tied to a tree branch that was close
to a lake and people swung off the rope that is
tied to the branch and jumped in to the water
Even underneath the new paint, you can still see
Ali will you marry me
This reminds me of a young boy that has a major
crush on a girl and he paints a love message on
the car and she reads it.
