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 wïth bad tattoos

when im all sewn up
i feel like giving up
conversation ends
with all this usless shit
you make me feel at home
breathing on my skin
the darkest things you love
i'll wait to come in
and all the friends i knew before
are kicking screaming through the door
when im all sewn up
i feel like giving up
conversation ends
in all this usless shit
it always makes me mad
to have to leave again
the darkest things you love
i'll wait to come in
and all the friends i knew before
alone and screaming through the door
when im all sewn up
i feel like giving up
and every little thing
and every little thing
can make me feel at home
your breathing on my skin
the darkest things you love
i'll wait to come in
and all the friends i knew before
are kicking screaming through the door
