Fast Car

You got a fast car And I got a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal 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 got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just cross the border into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally, see what it means to be living I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And 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 And I work in a market as a checkout boy I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone See my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like this My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to 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? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
