New Tattoo

歌詞

Sometime in the summer of '96 I was off on a road trip A couple hundred bucks and a case of beer Outside Panama City limits is where it all begins 2:00 A.M., I saw hazard lights Appeared to be a dame distressed in the night She was 5'6" and, damn, she was built I slammed on the brakes and got sideways and told her to get in She said, "Where you headed, to the city?" I said, "Yeah! I'm gonna have some fun" She tossed her hair back in confidence And said, "Mind if I come?" Two days later, we ain't left the room Did all in there that we could think to do I could see she was restless, so we hit the town Ended up at a place where the windows read: "Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here" "Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here" Into the back she went and disappeared Reappeared an hour late cheesing ear to ear I thought, "Hell, I need to try and get back there" When she unzipped her pants and said, "Looky here I got a brand-new tattoo All the colors in it remind me of you I got a brand-new tattoo All the colors in it remind me of you The blue is for the bruise that you left in my heart And the red is for color we're 'bout to paint this town Ooh, I got a new tattoo" One week passed; woke up a day late for work I found my goodtime gone and she took my shirt Drove by all the places that we had been There was one where the windows read: "Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here" "Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here" Into the back I went and disappeared Reappeared an hour later cheesing ear to ear And I cannot forget That smile when she said, "I got a brand-new tattoo"
