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 Any place is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove See, my old man's got a problem He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is Body's too old for working Body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "Somebody's gotta 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 I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights laid 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, be someone, be someone Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job 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 So I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights laid 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, be someone, be someone Be someone, 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'd find it Got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving Take your fast car and keep on driving Keep on driving Keep on driving, keep on driving Driving, keep on driving Keep on driving, keep on driving So I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights laid 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, be someone, be someone Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Fast enough so we can fly away
