You got a fast car
|
I want a 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
|
Baby we¡¯ll make something
|
Me myself I got nothing to prove
|
|
You've got a fast car
|
I got a plan to get us outta here
|
I've been working at a convenience store
|
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 finally see what it means to be living
|
|
I remember 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 round my shoulder
|
And I had a feeling that I belonged
|
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
|
|
See my old man¡¯s got a problem
|
He lives with the bottle that¡¯s the way it is
|
He says his body¡¯s too old for working
|
I say a 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, that¡¯s what I did
|
|
I remember 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 round my shoulder
|
And I had a feeling that I belonged
|
And I had a feeling I could 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 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 this trailer
|
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
|
|
You got a fast car
|
And I got a job that pays all our bills
|
You stay out drinking late at the bar
|
See more your friends than you do your kids
|
I¡¯d always hoped for better
|
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
|
Got no plans, we ain¡¯t going nowhere
|
We just take a fast car and keep on driving, oh
|
|
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 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
|
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
|
You got a fast car
|
You leave tonight or live and die this way
|
You got a fast car
|
You leave tonight or live and die this way...
