You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just
a little bit of money
We 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
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle
that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too
young to look like his
but 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
We leave tonight or
live and die this way
So I remember when we were
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
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
be someone
Be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising 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
So I remember when we were
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
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
be someone
Be someone
You got fast car
And 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 a better
Thought maybe together
you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
So I remember when we were
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
I had a feeling that I belonged
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 gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or
live and die this way
