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
