Stuck (Folk) |
LyricsSTUCKMark Patterson © 2016 I'd love to leave you baby Lord knows it's time But you'd just follow me baby From market to farm Just like you tracked me mama To the county line I got stuck with your name -- on my arm You went in as black ink baby That found my veins And now you shadow me baby My bad luck charm I wash my hands of you baby But my heart is stained I got stuck with your name -- on my arm (Solo) You learned to curse me baby I learned to pray That crooked smile of yours baby Had me disarmed Can't risk keeping you mama Can't make you go away I got stuck with your name -- on my arm I should have left you baby Was way past time Oh how you haunted me baby And did me harm I let you possess me darlin' That was my first crime I got stuck with your name -- on my arm Yeah I got stuck with your name -- on my arm |
| Story Behind the Song: "Stuck" is a cautionary tale about the after effects of love, and the images that don't go away. In this case, a tattoo serves as a metaphor for a couple that's been branded, both inside and out, by their lovers. |
