Fast Car

You got a fast car I want 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 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 Lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his 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 have a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision We 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 lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You have a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl 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 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 'round my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You have a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar You see more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Maybe together you and me would find it Got no plans, I ain't going nowhere Take your fast car and keep on driving And I remember 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 'round my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged I, 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 lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged And I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You have a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way Live and die this way Leave tonight or live and die this way
