Messed Up Kid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She likes stealin' from Salvation Armies
She says it makes her feel like the movies
Battin' her eyes with a crooked smile
Wonderin' why the hell I'm pissed
This ain't like any film that I recall
It ain't exactly The Italian Job
This kinda shit is for soccer moms
Dyin' to be young again
She's dancin' around the room
In a cheetah print bodysuit
Roll the credits when the scene is through
Of the story of a messed up kid
She tells me I got a problem with drinkin'
But loves going out on the weekends
Throws me the keys with a pretty please
And wonders if I'll drive her home
You'd think if she knew my weakness
She'd try and help me to beat it
That's why I love her so but since Roanoke
I don't take her out to shop no more
She's dancin' around the room
In a cheetah print bodysuit
Roll the credits when the scene is through
Of the story of a messed up kid
She likes stealin' from Salvation Armies
She says it makes her feel like the movies
Battin' her eyes with a crooked smile
Wonderin' why the hell I'm pissed
She's dancin' around the room
In a cheetah print bodysuit
Roll the credits when the scene is through
Of the story of a messed up kid
She's dancin' around the room
In a cheetah print bodysuit
Roll the credits when the scene is through
Of the story of a messed up kid
Roll the credits when the scene is through
Of the story of a messed up kid
