Fast Car

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself, I've got nothing to prove, yeah I just wanna be someone Get somewhere, baby And you got a fast car I've got a plan, it'll get us out of here Been working at the convenience store I managed to save this little bit of money And we don't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living To be someone and get somewhere, don't you? See, my old man's got a problem He lives 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 his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than what he could give I said, somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school, it's what I did And you got a fast car Is it fast enough, could we both fly away? We gotta make a decision To leave tonight or live and die this way Live and die this way, yeah Remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk And the 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 Be someone, get somewhere You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work at the 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 Be someone, get somewhere baby Remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk And the city lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone Be somebody, be someone You got a fast car You got a fast car Yes, you got a fast car I've got a job, 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 Maybe thought that you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving Be someone, get somewhere baby So you got a fast car But is it fast enough that we could fly away? You gotta make a decision To leave tonight or live and die this way Your wanna be someone and get somewhere Remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk And the 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, yeah
