It was summer after my senior year
We spent the whole week out on that pier
She said: Boy I think I love you
I said: I love you too

We ended up drank at some ole ink shop
She said: Get my name
I said: Hell, why not?
She didn't have to work too hard to talk me into

MM, tattoo on a sunburn

And everytime that saltwater breeze blows in
I find myself lying right there
In a kicked back, jet black, leather seat
The hum and the buzz, and the sting of the needle
Fadеd away, but I guess some peoplе never do
Losing you is the only thing worse
Than, a tattoo on a sunburn

As I held her on her balcony
I remember wishing she would come back with me
Guess a boy can dream
But we both knew that it wouldn't work

When I came too, she was already gone
Hammer down, due west to Arkansas
I laughed through the pain and swore it didn't hurt

MM, tattoo on a sunburn

And everytime that saltwater breeze blows in
I find myself lying right there
In a kicked back, jet black, leather seat
The hum and the buzz, and the sting of the needle
Faded away, but I guess some people never do
Losing you is the only thing worse
Than, a tattoo on a sunburn

It's covered up with some new ink now
The rest of the wold ain't got a clue about
The name of a girl that I ain't seen since that day
I don't think about her all the time
When they're stackin' the chairs right before the tide
I can still hear her voice come crashing down with the waves

Everytime that saltwater breeze blows in
I find myself lying right there
In a kicked back, jet black, leather seat
The hum and the buzz, and the sting of the needle
Faded away, but I guess some people never do
Losing you is the only thing worse
Than, a tattoo on a sunburn
A tattoo on a sunburn
