Keep Me Under Control

I am so wild, I carelessly run around I am the last horse in a one horse town I'm as wild as wild can be I have zero guidance, so I live my life aimlessly Do what you have to, send me to assist the Border Patrol I need someone to neuter me and keep me under control I live life by the seat of my pants I don't want love or trues romance I believe that every moment counts When you fall down, there is still time and room to bounce If a jet can fly, it can surely land When wrong is done, justice needs to be a firm hand One day I may feel peace and love deep in my soul When I find that one that can keep me under control If there is a poster child for bad, it has to be me I do not welcome the Devil, but there will be no begging for mercy I often wonder what do people think I really don't care after my third hard drink You are wasting your time if you want to preach You are educated, so do your best to teach I am not worth being loved by you, so do not glow I want discipline, so do your best to bring me under control I party and sin and live as I please I will never be driven to my eyes I am a rebel and that will never change in my life Not looking for love, a white picket fence or a loving wife I can take the streets and deal with them blow by blow Are you the one to keep me under control Some people have it, some don't and some never will I'm tired of hearing about it, I have lived it, now it's overkill The question is do I want to sell my soul You can save me if you can keep me under control
