Anchor Tattoo

The ink upon her skin had no black lines
just softer shades, pretty and fine
flowers in the middle, two stars green and blue
She got an anchor tattoo

Blackwatch skirt, ribbon in her hair
the daughter of a millionaire
country club, horses, lake house with a view
She got an anchor tattoo

Ooh, ooh

Old station wagon held all they own
the bank took it all twenty years ago
she packed up one suitcase like she was told to do
She got an anchor tattoo

Her kids tucked in at night, a bedtime kiss
a silent prayer, a painted wrist
reminds her of all that she holds true
She got an anchor tattoo

She's grounded in what is good and true
She got an anchor tattoo

Ooh, ooh
She got an anchor tattoo
