Oooohh
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from there 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 a 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
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when you were driving
Driving me 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
And I I had a feeling that I belonged
And I I had a feeling that I be someone
Had a feeling that I be someone
You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with bottle that the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
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
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
Still ain't got a job
And 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 the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when you were driving
Driving me 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
And I I had a feeling that I belonged
And I I had a feeling that I be someone
Had a feeling that I be someone
Be someone
Had a feeling that I be someone
