Lyrics
You've got a fast car

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've got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car

I've got a plan

to get us out of here

I've been working at

a convenience store

Managed save

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

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 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 could give

I said somebody's got

to take care of him

So I quit school

and that's what I did

You've got a fast car

it fast enough

so we can fly away

We got to make cision

leave tonight

or live and die this way

So 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 the feeling

that I belonged

I I had a feeling I

could be someone be someone

be someone

You've got a fast car

go cruising

entertain ourselves

still ain't got a job

now I work in a 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 shelter

buy a bigger house

and live in the suburbs

I remember when we were

driving driving in your car

Speed so fast

felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

and your arm

Felt nice wrapped

around my shoulder and

I had the feeling

that I belonged

And I had a feeling I

could be someone be someone

be someone

You've got a fast car

I've got a job

that pays all our bills

He stay out drinking to

late at the bar

See more of your friends

that you do of your kids

Always hoped for better

thought maybe together

you and me would find

If you've got no plans

and I ain't going nowhere

Take fast car

and keep on driving

So I remember when we were

driving driving in your car

Speed so fast

felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

and your arm

Felt nice wrapped

around my shoulder and

I had feeling

that I belonged

And I feeling I

could someone be someone

be someone

You've got a fast car

is fast enough

so can fly away

You've got to make cision

we leave tonight

or live and die this way
