Cant keep her home - Flickerfield

[Verse 1 – Playful storytelling] 
…yeah
That's when she met him, 'n right from the beginning
He told her he could tattoo, said he learned it in prison
Brought his ass to dinner to meet mommy and dad
They asked her when she lost all the sense she ever had

[Verse 2 – Storytelling continues] 
With his elbows on the table, completely oblivious
Eating apple pie and asked "Who's recipe is this?"

[Chorus – Hook, character reflection] 
Can't keep her home
Says you "have a tone"
She won't ever listen
Cause she thinks she's all grown

Now that she's older
His name's on her shoulder
At least it's covered up
When the weather gets colder
Blood red ink
With a whole lotta black
When her daddy seen it
Nearly had a heart attack

[Verse 3 – Vivid imagery] 
Little red hearts
With black outlines
His name right in the middle
With a tribal design
That's behind a cross
That leans to the left
With big, bold letters
That misspelled no regrets
But she's got no regrets
(Oh no)
She's got no regrets
(Oh no)
She's got no regrets...

[Verse 4 – Family reactions] 
Next time she brought him to her family reunion
Her grandpa saw him, asked if he's even human 
He stormed off to his Buick, said he's gonna go smoke
"Well he just don't get it, n' can't take a joke"
Her sister rolled her eyes, no she wouldn't speak a word
Cause he said that he raps and it's the worst she'd ever heard...

[Chorus – Repeat] 
Can't keep her home
Says you "don't even know"
She won't ever listen
Now she won't pick up the phone

Now that she's older
His name's on her shoulder
At least it's covered up
When the weather gets colder
Blood red ink
With a whole lotta black
When her daddy seen it
Nearly had a heart attack

[Bridge – Climax / tension] 
No surprise, it was over before it began
So of course he cheated on her with her own best friend
He begged and he pleaded, swore on somebody's life
Said "Baby take me back, won't you be my wife?"
He pulled out a ring
He stole from his mom
If I told you she said yes...

[Instrumental / Guitar break] 
[*guitar string breaks*]

[Chorus / Outro – Resolution] 
Can't keep her home
Cuz she's all grown
Is she getting married?
Please tell me no
Ohhh please tell me no

Now that she's older
Took his name off her shoulder
Thank God she finally listened
To what everyone told her
She's still got no regrets
(Oh no!)
She's still got no regrets
(Oh no!)
She's still got no regrets

[End]

[Intro – Soft fingerpicked acoustic, light piano] When she graduated she was so glad she made it Said goodbye to all the classes and the people she hated Gotta job flipping burgers, pushing college aside This guy walked up to the counter, told her "Just my size" [Verse 1 – Playful storytelling] …yeah That's when she met him, 'n right from the beginning He told her he could tattoo, said he learned it in prison Brought his ass to dinner to meet mommy and dad They asked her when she lost all the sense she ever had [Verse 2 – Storytelling continues] With his elbows on the table, completely oblivious Eating apple pie and asked "Who's recipe is this?"
