Fast Car

You've got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal So maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I've got nothing to prove You've got a fast car I've got a plan to get us outta here I've been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See my old man's got a problem He lives with a bottle that's the way it is Says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like this My momma went off and left him She wanted more to life than he could give Said somebody's gotta take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We've 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 felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and I-I had a feeling that I belonged And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a check-out girl I know things will get better You'll find a work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and I-I had a feeling that I belonged And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You've got a fast car I've got a job that pays all our bills You still out drinking late at the bar See more your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better That maybe together you and me would find it So I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and I-I had a feeling that I belonged And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You've got a fast car Fast enough so we can fly away? You've gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
