Fast Car (feat. Kina Grannis)

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can 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 And me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here Been workin' at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won'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 You see my old man's got a problem Live 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 got a fast car Is it fast enough that we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So I remember we were drivin', drivin' in your car The 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 got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves Still ain't got a job I work at the 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 So I remember we were drivin', drivin' in your car The 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 got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinkin' late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me find it I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember we were drivin', drivin' in your car The 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 got 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
