You 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
|
Me myself I got nothing to prove
|
|
You got a fast car
|
I got a plan to get us out of here
|
I been working at the convenience store
|
Managed to save just a little bit of money
|
We won't have to drive too far
|
Just across the border and into the city
|
You and I could both get jobs
|
Finally see what it means to be living
|
|
See my old man's got a problem
|
Lives with a bottle that's the way it is
|
He says his body's too old for working
|
Body's too young for looking like his
|
Mama went off and left him
|
Wanted more from life than he could give
|
I said somebody's got to take care of him
|
I quit school that's what I did
|
What I did, what I did
|
|
You 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
|
|
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
|
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
|
City lights lay out before us
|
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
|
And 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
|
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
|
You still ain't got a job
|
And I work in a market in the checkout line
|
I know things will get better
|
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
|
We'll move out of the shelter
|
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
|
|
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
|
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
|
City lights lay out before us
|
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
|
And 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
|
I got a job pays all our bills
|
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 we'd together you and me would find it
|
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
|
Take your fast car and keep on driving
|
|
You got a fast car
|
Is it fast enough so you can fly away
|
You gotta make a decision
|
Leave tonight or live and die this way
|
|
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
|
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
|
City lights lay out before us
|
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
|
And I had a feeling that I belonged
|
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
