All Sewn Up

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
