At Least We Didn't Have Any Kids
Ink of Memories: Love's Tattoo Without Offspring
Lyrics
I got your name tattooed on on my hip bone,
I have a tattoo of your name on my hip bone.
But at least we didn't have any kids,
Despite our past relationship, we didn't have children.
Even though the romance is long gone,
Even though the romantic feelings have faded.
I'll always have you under my skin
I will always carry the memory of you with me.
We were 19 and loaded in Austin,
We were young and carefree in Austin.
Blinded by the love and the lights,
We were blinded by love and the excitement of the moment.
Looking back I thought we were forever,
In retrospect, I believed our love would last forever.
But I reckon that we changed our minds
However, we changed our minds along the way.
So I covered you up with the state of Kentucky,
I covered up the tattoo with an image representing Kentucky.
You got the dog and I got the canoe,
We divided our possessions, with you taking the dog and me taking the canoe.
Maybe it's sad, maybe it's lucky,
The situation might be seen as sad or fortunate.
Maybe we did all we could do,
We may have done everything we could in our relationship.
I call it redneck, white and blue
Describing the situation with patriotic colors: redneck, white, and blue.
I admit it was a bad decision,
Admitting that the breakup was a regrettable choice.
But I don't have a single regret,
Despite the regret, there are no second thoughts.
My new girl says she ain't bothered by it,
My new partner claims not to be bothered by the past.
But I can tell she ain't impressed
But I sense she is not truly impressed or unaffected.
So I covered you up with the state of Kentucky,
Similar to line 11, repeating the act of covering up the tattoo with Kentucky.
You got the dog, I got the canoe,
Reiterating the division of possessions between the dog and the canoe.
Maybe it's sad, maybe it's lucky,
Reflecting on the mixed emotions of the situation.
Maybe we did all we could do,
Suggesting that they might have done all they could to salvage the relationship.
I call it redneck, white and blue
Reiterating the use of patriotic colors to describe the situation.
They may fade in the sun,
The memories may fade, but the emotional impact remains strong.
But these colors, they don't run
Expressing resilience despite challenging circumstances.
I covered it up with the state of Kentucky
Repeating the act of covering the tattoo with the representation of Kentucky.
You got the dog but he don't listen to you,
Your possession, the dog, doesn't respond to your commands.
Maybe it's sad, maybe it's lucky
Reflecting on the emotional complexity of the situation.
Maybe we did all we could do
Suggesting that they might have exhausted all efforts in the relationship.
I call it redneck, white and blue
Reiterating the use of patriotic colors to describe the situation.
I call it redneck, white and blue
Emphasizing the redneck, white, and blue characterization of their story.
I got your name tattooed on my hip bone,
Repeating the mention of the tattoo on the hip bone.
But at least we didn't have any kids
Despite the tattoo, the positive aspect is that they didn't have children.
