ou got a fast car
I want a ticket
to anywhere
Maybe we can
make a deal
Maybe together
we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero
got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll
make something
And me myself
I got nothing to prove
ou got a fast car
I got a plan to
get us out of here
Been working at
the convenience store
Managed to save
ust 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
And finally see
what it means
to be living
ou see my old man's
got a problem
He 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
ou 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
remember
we were driving
driving 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
nd I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
Be someone be someone
ou got a fast car
We go cruising
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
remember
we were driving
driving 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
nd I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
Be someone be someone
ou got a fast car
And 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
would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember
we were driving
driving 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
nd I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
Be someone be someone
You got a fast car
ut is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta
make a decision
Leave tonight or live
nd die this way
