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 a.m., 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, "Lookee 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 is for the color we're about 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 is 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 is for the color we're about to paint this town Ooh, I gotta new tattoo New tattoo  I gotta brand new tattoo All the colors in it remind me of you New tattoo Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here A new tattoo Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here
