Tony Joe White
One Bad Tattoo
[Verse 1]
Woman why'd you have to go, and run that red light
Wish you kept your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel
I never saw you comin', 'til you hit me on the blindside
It was a heart on collision, you sent me head over heels
I couldn't leave the scene, there was nothing I could do
Girl, you're sticking with me, like a bad tattoo

[Verse 2]
She said baby won't you take me down to Panama City
I want to play in the water, wiggle my toes in the sand
Hey, she got me to thinkin', thinkin' that pictures so pretty
I could do a little fishin', she could work on her tan
She packed her tie dyed t-shirt, and her daisy dukes
And it's branded on my memory, like a bad tattoo

[Verse 3]
Was a band of gypsies down on the board walk
As we were walking by, one said come on in
It was a [?] in the back, I knew I was in trouble
She said baby, I'd love to see my name there on your skin
I pulled up my sleeve, it was done in black and blue
And there for the world to see was one bad tattoo (One bad tattoo)
And the morning came, she was gone without a clue
I guess she went on back home to Baton Rouge
It was love on the [?]
Yeah I don't need the view, cause I could see it all
One bad tattoo
One bad tattoo
