It was the 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 drunk at some old ink shop She said, get my name I said, hell, why not She didn't have to work too hard to talk me into Mmm, a tattoo on my sunburn Every time that saltwater breeze blows in I find myself layin' right there In a kickback jet black leather seat The humming, the buzzing, the sting of that needle Faded away, but I guess some people never do Losing you's the only thing worse Than a tattoo on a sunburn As I held her on her hotel balcony I remember wishin' she would come back with me Guess a boy can dream, but we both knew it wouldn't work When I came to, she was already gone Hammered down due west to Arkansas But I laughed through the pain and swore it didn't hurt Mmm, a tattoo on my sunburn Every time that saltwater breeze blows in I find myself layin' right there In a kickback jet black leather seat The humming, the buzzing, the sting of that needle Faded away, but I guess some people never do Losing you's the only thing worse Than a tattoo on a sunburn She's covered up with some new ink now And the rest of the world 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 we're stackin' the chairs right before the tide I can still hear her voice come crashin' down with the waves Every time that saltwater breeze blows in I find myself layin' right there In a kickback jet black leather seat The humming, the buzzing, the sting of that needle Faded away, but I guess some people never do Losing you's the only thing worse Than a tattoo on a sunburn A tattoo on a sunburn
