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

VISUAL

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.
