  • 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 am. I saw hazard lights
    Appeared to be a dame distressed in the night
    She was 5 foot 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 back her hair in confidence
    And said mind if I come?

    2 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 later 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 gotta brand new tattoo
    All the colors in it remind me of you
    I gotta 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 if for the color we're 'bout to paint this town
    Ooh, I gotta new tattoo

    One week passed, woke up a day late for work
    I found my good time 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

    I gotta brand new tattoo
    All the colors in it remind me of you
    I gotta 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 if for the color we're 'bout to paint this town
    Ooh, I gotta new tattoo

    New tattoo!

    And I, cannot forget
    That smile, when she said

    I gotta brand new tattoo
    All the colors in it remind me of you
    I gotta 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 if for the color we're 'bout to paint this town
    Ooh, I gotta new tattoo

    I gotta brand new tattoo
    All the colors in it remind me of you
