Fast Car

You got a fast car

I wanna 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

'Cause me, myself, I got nothing to prove

Mm-hmm

You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us outta here

I been working at a convenience store

I managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And find out it really means to be living

Mm-hmm, yeah, hmm

See I remember we were driving

Driving in your car and

Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feeling that I belonged, yeah

I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone, oh

Mm-hmm, yeah

I said, "My old man's got a problem"

He lives for the bottle, that's the way it works

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 gotta take care of him"

So I quit school and that's what I did

Oh-oh, that's what I did, ooh

See I remember we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feeling that I belonged, yeah

I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Oh, yeah, ooh

I said, "You got a fast car"

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or we can die this way
