LYRICS
Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue
Scrawled across the shoulders of a dying town
Took the one eyed jacks across the railroad tracks
And the scar on its belly pulled a stranger passing through
He’s a juvenile delinquent never learned how to behave
But the cops would never think to look in Burma-Shave
And the road was like a ribbon and the moon was like a bone
He didn’t seem to be like any guy she’d ever known
He kind of looked like Farley Granger with his hair slicked back
She says I’m a sucker for a fella in a cowboy hat
How far are you going?
Said Depends on what you mean
He says I’m only stopping here to get some gasoline
I guess I’m going thataway
