Miss Congeniality 2 movie - Out of Control lyrics

rate me

Song by Dave Alvin<br /><br>

I scored some speed in San Berdino<br>

So me and baby could get a little bump<br>

And now she’s in that motel room<br>

Puttin’ on a show for some chump<br>

Yeah, well baby’s gotta make a livin’<br>

And I don’t mind waitin’ out in the car<br>

‘Cause I got some nine millimeter muscle<br>

In case things go too far.<br>

<br>

You know I try to take it easy man<br>

And just go with the flow<br>

But sometimes things can get a little bit<br>

Out of control.<br>

<br>

Well my old man worked his whole life<br>

In the Kaiser steel slag pit<br>

And I worked there for awhile back when I was a kid<br>

But I got tired of all their shit<br>

But that was years ago man<br>

Before they tore that Fontana plant down<br>

And my old man smoked himself<br>

Into a six-foot hole in the ground.<br>

<br>

And I got the same bad habit<br>

And it’ll probably take its toll<br>

But sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps me<br>

From goin’ out of control.<br>

<br>

Well my ex-wife’s workin’ evenings<br>

At a Sizzler makin’ minimum wage<br>

And she’s cleanin’ up other people’s houses<br>

Every day just like some slave<br>

She’s livin’ with the kids in a mobile home<br>

Just off the 60 freeway<br>

Some nights I go to see her<br>

And sometimes she lets me stay.<br>

<br>

Since she found Jesus<br>

She’s always tryin’ to save my soul<br>

Yeah but every now and then she still likes to get<br>

A little out of control.<br>

<br>

I used to work a little construction<br>

But I never got along with my boss<br>

So I do a little import/export<br>

Makin’ enough just to cover my costs<br>

And I’m losin’ my hair and I’m losin’ my teeth<br>

But I’m tryin’ to keep my grip<br>

And live to see one more day<br>

Without makin’ any stupid slips.<br>

<br>

You know I could have played the game man<br>

And just done what I was told<br>

But I guess I was born just a little bit<br>

Out of control.<br>

<br>

When baby gets done in there I’m gonna <br>

Take her for a little ride<br>

Cruise up into the mountains<br>

Park the car and get a little high<br>

‘Cause baby likes to look at the shootin’ stars<br>

And make wishes as they fly by<br>

And I like lookin’ down at the city<br>

From way up there in the sky. <br>

<br>

Then I pull baby close to me <br>

When it starts gettin’ cold<br>

Close my eyes for a little while and let the world<br>

Spin out of control.<br>

<br>
