A thin-skinned lover with an outlaw tongue Got a lot of things I'd do But I'd only be a-lyin' to your pretty-eyed blue Long way from a Southern Belle Lawn Can't stand up and I can't go back I see the power of a tattooed arm But I know a couple words can turn the whole night black On her way from a taxi cab She bleeds out her New York dreams Runaway from your mother's path and see Whatever she couldn't be How many women had me under their thumb? A thin-skinned lover with an outlaw tongue Got a lot of things I'd do But I'd only be a-lyin' to your pretty-eyed blue On her way from that yellow cab She bleeds out her little girl dreams Runaway from your father's words and see, Whatever you couldn't be How many women had me under their thumb? A thin-skinned lover with an outlaw tongue Got a lot of things I'd do But I'd only be a-lyin' to your pretty-eyed blue
