My Name Inked On Her Arm

From across the bar through the boredom and the dark
I shot her my best Cool Hand
And her come on said it worked

So, I bought her a round with the change that I found
On floor of my bedroom
And the cracks of my couch

I wanna true love one-night stand
No regrets even at the end kinda thing
She’ll be the kind of girl that’s always game
For losing a week
To a dozen kinds of crazy
And who’d up and get my name inked on her arm

I don’t quite remember but somehow or another
We wound up slow dancing
On the roof of my old car

Then she laughed, ran her nails down my back
Asked me what I wanted
And the whiskey answered back

I wanna true love one-night stand
No regrets even at the end kinda thing
She’ll be the kind of girl that’s always game
For losing a week
To a dozen kinds of crazy
And who’d up and get my name inked on her arm

Then I asked her for a smoke and she rifled the pockets of her jeans
But all she found was the wadded trail of a lost week of receipts
Then she looked me in the eye
As I pulled up her sleeve
And we both lost it because my name was on her arm

I came to in a motel with a hangover from hell
And I found myself alone
Except for a single empty bottle

It was covered in a madness of black lipstick kisses
With her name and her number
On the heavy end of it

I found my true love one-night stand
No regrets even at the end kinda thing
She’s the kind of girl that’s always game
For losing a week
To a dozen kinds of crazy
And up and got my name inked on her arm

I drove to a den that was called the Shaky Pen
And added her full name
To the story of my skin
