Out of Control

I scored some speed in San Berdino
 So me and baby could get a little bump
 And now she? s in that motel room
 Puttin? on a show for some chump
 Yeah, well, baby? s gotta make a livin?
 And I don? t mind waitin? out in the car
 ? Cause I got some nine millimeter muscle
 In case things go too far
 You know I try to take it easy, man
 And just go with the flow
 But sometimes things can get a little bit
 Out of control
 Well, my old man worked his whole life
 In the Kaiser steel slag pit
 And I worked there for a while back when I was a kid
 But I got tired of all their shit
 But that was years ago, man
 Before they tore that Fontana plant down
 And my old man smoked himself
 Into a six-foot hole in the ground
 And I got the same bad habit
 And it? ll probably take its toll
 But sometimes it? s the only thing that keeps me
 From goin? out of control
 Well, my ex-wife? s workin? evenings
 At a Sizzler makin? minimum wage
 And she? s cleanin? up other people? s houses
 Every day just like some slave
 And she? s livin? with the kids in a mobile home
 Just off the 60 freeway
 Some nights I go to see her
 And sometimes she lets me stay
 Since she found Jesus
 She? s always tryin? to save my soul
 Yeah, but every now and then she still likes to get
 A little out of control
 I used to work a little construction
 But I never got along with my boss
 So I do a little import export
 Makin? enough just to cover my costs
 And I? m losin? my hair and I? m losin? my teeth
 But I? m tryin? to keep my grip
 And live to see one more day
 Without makin? any stupid slips
 You know I could have played the game man
 And just done what I was told
 But I guess I was born just a little bit
 Out of control
 Baby gets done in there, I? m gonna
 Take her for a little ride
 Cruise up into the mountains
 Park the car and get a little high
 ? Cause baby likes to look at the shootin? stars
 And make wishes as they fly by
 And I like lookin? down at the city
 From way up there in the sky
 Then I pull baby close to me
 When it starts gettin? cold
 Close my eyes for a little while and let the world
 Spin out of control
