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
STARTIN' FROM ZERO
GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
MAYBE WE'LL MAKE SOMETHING
ME MYSELF I GOT
NOTHIN' TO PROVE
YOU GOT A FAST CAR
I GOT A PLAN
TO GET US OUTTA HERE
BEEN WORKIN' 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
YOU 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
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
'CAUSE I REMEMBER
WHEN WE WERE DRIVING
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
AT SPEEDS 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
WE GO CRUISIN'
ENTERTAIN OURSELVES
STILL AIN'T GOT A JOB
NOW I WORK IN THE 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 BIG HOUSE
AND LIVE IN THE SUBURBS
'CAUSE I REMEMBER
WHEN WE WERE DRIVIN'
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
AT SPEEDS 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 DRINKIN'
LATE AT THE BAR
SEE MORE OF YOUR FRIENDS
THAN YOU DO YOUR KIDS
I'D ALWAYS HOPED FOR BETTER
THOUGHT MAYBE TOGETHER
YOU AND ME'D FIND IT
I GOT NO PLANS
I AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE
SO, TAKE YOUR FAST CAR
AND KEEP ON DRIVIN'
'CAUSE I REMEMBER
WHEN WE WERE DRIVIN'
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
AT SPEEDS 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
IS IT FAST ENOUGH
SO, YOU CAN FLY AWAY
YOU GOTTA MAKE A DECISION
LEAVE TONIGHT
OR LIVE AND DIE THIS WAY
