I walked in the tattoo shop on the beach in Alabama
Sun hanging low and fading fast
Showed the man her lipstick kiss on that torn piece of paper
And he said he'd do it for a hundred dollars cash
Yeah, give me that color red
And put it there where she used to lay her head
Dip that needle in the ink, let that burgundy sink
Through the sun burn the weekend left behind
Labor Day has come and gone, me and the boys have gotta roll
And I don't know when I'll hold her again
So until then I wanna wake up with her kiss on my skin
I worked all summer with the band at the [Incomprehensible] bar
And saw her there the first night that we played
Flip flops, a halter top and red bangs in her hair
Wild and sweet like the hurricanes we drank
May turned into September
And by now she is touching down in Denver
So dip that needle in the ink, let that burgundy sink
Through the sun burn the weekend left behind
Labor Day has come and gone, me and the boys have gotta roll
And I don't know when I'll hold her again
So until then I wanna wake up with her kiss on my skin
Yeah, labor day is come and gone, me and the boys have gotta roll
Oh, and I don't know when I'll hold her again
So until then I wanna wake up with her kiss on my skin
