You got a fast car
And I want a ticket
to anywhere
Maybe we 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
And I got a plan to
get us out of here
I've been working
at the convenience store
Managed to save
just a little bit of money
Won't have to
drive too far
Just across the
border and into the city
And you and I can
both get jobs
Finally see what it
means to be living
See my old man's
got a problem
He lives with the
bottle that's the way it is
He said his body's
too old for working
His body's too young
to look like his
So 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
so we can fly away
Still 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 I 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
I I had a feeling I could
be someone be
someone be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to
entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
So I work in the
market as a
checkout girl
I know things
will get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
And we'll move
out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house
and live in the suburbs
So I remember
when we were driving
driving in your car
Speed so fast I 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
I I had a feeling 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 would find it
I got no plans I ain't
going nowhere
Take your fast car
and keep on driving
So I remember when
we were driving
driving in your car
Speed so fast I 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
I I had a feeling I
could be someone be
someone be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough
so we can fly away
Still gotta make
a decision
Leave tonight or
live and die this way
