Tattoo Girl

(album: Rooster Rag - 2012)

In the summer when it rains in the afternoon
Heat running sweet from the earth to the moon
Nobody's gonna tell you what you gotta do
In the Summer when it rains in the afternoon

You're a tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
Try to make it lighter
Keeps on getting older

At a certain time of day when gravity is light
Still seems like things could work out right
The hot dusty past is long left behind
At a certain time of day when gravity is light

You're a tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
Try to make it lighter
Keeps on getting older

When the night time comes and baby's got the blues
Refrigerator's leaking, dog ate the shoe
There's a party up the street but the party ain't for you
When the night time comes and baby's got the blues

You're a tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
A tattooed girl with the world on her shoulders
Try to make it lighter
Keeps on getting older
