All sewn up With bad tattoos All bit up Nothin to lose Well ive been a fool for oh so long Now the mississippi mud cakes my boots Im afraid that i might drown if i dont move From these waters that run so deep From these southern ways and lazy heat Now im stuck Aint got much to show With a little luck Just watch me go Ive got torn up knees and caloused fingertips Broken vocal chords and busted lips This goddamn guitar is never quite in tune Id leave it behind if it werent all i could do Now im stuck Aint got much to show With a little luck Just watch me go Hell im all sewn up with bad tattoos Cant hide from the faded truth Well it follows me wherever i might move All sewn up with bad tattoos Well san francisco sure sounds nice And brooklyn might suit me just fine Well life down here just moves so slow it seems Like a river barge pushin upstream Now im stuck Aint got much to show With a little luck Just watch me go Now im all sewn up with bad tattoos Cant hide from the faded truth Well it follows me wherever i might move Im all sewn up with bad tattoos
