You 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 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
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
So 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
I had a feeling I could be
someone, 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
His 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
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So 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
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 find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
So 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
I had a feeling I could be
someone, be someone, be someone
