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
maybe we'll make
something
Me myself I got nothing
to prove you got a fast car
and I've gotta plan to get
us outta here 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 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
leave tonight
or live and die this way
So 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
round my shoulder
and I.., I..
Had a feeling
that I.. belonged
I.., I..
had a feeling that I..
could be someone
Had a feeling that I..
could be someone
See my old man's
got a problem
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
we go cruising
entertain ourselves
You 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
leave tonight
or live and die this way
So 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
round my shoulder
and I.., I..
Had a feeling
that I.. belonged
I.., I..
had a feeling that I..
could be someone
Had a feeling that I..
could be someone
be someone
Had a feeling that I..
could be someone
