You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Startin` from zero got nothin` to lose
Maybe we`ll make something
Me myself I got nothin` to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I`ve been workin` at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won`t have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
And you and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be livin`
See my old man`s got a problem
He live in the bottle that`s the way it is
He said his body`s too old for working
His body`s too young to look like his
So Mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said `somebody`s gotta take care of him`
So I quit school and that`s what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped
Around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain`t got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You`ll find work and I`ll get promoted
And we`ll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped
Around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I`d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together
You and me would find it
I got no plans I ain`t goin` nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped
Around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
