Lyrics
Is that a new tattoo? Lemme see
She looked at it long, ‘n said, “What’s that mean?”
Our daughter just shook her head
It means sumpin’ to me
Lying in the other room,
with the cancer juice, I couldn’t move
My mind started movin’ for me
And it took me on my ten speed
back in the nineteen sumpin’ teens
Ridin’ hands free
Hair blowin’ in the breeze
It may be hard now for others to see
but in my mind, That’s me
I remember when Daddy first saw my tattoo, he said, “Lemme see”
He looked at it long, ‘n said What’s that mean?
I just shook my head
It means sumpin’ to me
Lying in the other room,
so stoned, I couldn’t move
My mind started movin’ for me
And it took me on my ten speed
Just my best friend ‘n me
Ridin’ hands free
We were runnin’ away you see
It was so hard then for my folks to see
but it was time, for me to be me
Why is it so hard for others to see
the part of our mind, where “That’s me”
