Fast Car (feat. Dakota) [Acoustic]

You  got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we'll 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 a convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far

Just across the border and into to the city

You and I can both get jobs

And 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

Says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My momma 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

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

The speeds 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 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

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds 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 that I could be someone

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

I got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking 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 going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds 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
