all sewn up

all sewn up

with bad tattoos

all bit up

nothin' to lose

well i've been a fool for oh so long

now the mississippi mud cakes my boots

i'm afraid that i might drown if i don't move

from these waters that run so deep

from these southern ways and lazy heat

now i'm stuck

ain't got much to show

with a little luck

just watch me go

i've got torn up knees and calloused fingertips

broken vocal chords and busted lips

this goddamn guitar is never quite in tune

id leave it behind if it weren't all i could do

now i'm stuck

ain't got much to show

with a little luck

just watch me go

hell i'm 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 i'm stuck

ain't got much to show

with a little luck

just watch me go

now i'm all sewn up with bad tattoos

cant hide from the faded truth

well it follows me wherever i might move

i'm all sewn up with bad tattoos
