[Verse]
AmI scored some speed in San Bernardino 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 Dmbaby’s gotta make a livin’ And I don’t mind waitin’ out in the car ‘Cause I got some Amnine millimeter muscle
In case things go too far.
You know IEm7 try to take it easy man And just Dmgo with the flow Em7But sometimes things can get a little biDmt Out of contAmrol.
[Verse 2]
AmWell my old man worked his whole life In the Kaiser steel slag pit
And I worked there for awhile back when I was a kid But I got tired of all their shit
But that was Dmyears ago man Before they tore that Fontana plant down And my old Amman smoked himself
Into a six-foot hole in the ground.
And IEm7 got the same bad habit And it’llDm probably take its toll Em7But sometimes it’s the only thing that keepsDm me From goin’ out of coAmntrol.
[Verse 3]
AmWell 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
She’s Dmlivin’ with the kids in a mobile home Just off the 60 freeway Some Amnights I go to see her
And sometimes she lets me stay.
Em7Since she found Jesus She’s always tryin’ to sDmave my soul YEm7eah but every now and then she still likes to Dmget A little out of conAmtrol.
[Verse 4]
AmI 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 lDmosin’ my hair and I’m losin’ my teeth But I’m tryin’ to keep my grip And Amlive to see one more day
Without makin’ any stupid slips.
You know I Em7could have played the game man And just Dmdone what I was told Em7But I guess I was born just a little Dmbit Out of conAmtrol.
[Verse 5]
AmWhen 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
Dm‘Cause baby likes to look at the shootin’ stars And make wishes as they fly by AndAm I like lookin’ down at the city
From way up there in the sky.
Em7Then I pull baby close to me DmWhen it starts gettin’ cold Em7Close my eyes for a little while and let the worDmld Spin out of contAmrol.
