You got a fast car
and I want a ticket
to anywhere
maybe we'll make a deal
Maybe together
we can get somewhere
any place is better
Startin' from zero
got nothin' to lose
maybe we'll
make something
me, myself
I got nothin' to prove
You got a fast car
and I got a plan
to get us out of here
I've been workin' at
the 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
and you and I
can both get jobs
finally see what
it means to be livin'
See my old man's
got a problem he
lives with a bottle that's
the way it is
he said his body's
too old for working
His body's too young
to look like his
so 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?
Still gotta make a decision
leave tonight
or live and die this way
Said I remember
when we were driving
driving in your car
speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out
before us and your arm
felt nice wrapped
around my shoulder
and I.., I.. had a feeling
that I belonged
I.., I.. had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone
be someone
You got a fast car
we go cruising
and entertain ourselves
you still ain't got a job
So I work in the market
as a checkout girl
I know
things will get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
and we'll move out
of the shelter
buy a bigger house
live in the suburbs
Said I remember
when we were driving
driving in your car
speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out
before us and your arm
felt nice wrapped
around my shoulder
and I.., I.. had a feeling
that I belonged
I.., 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 your kids
I'd always
hoped for better
Thought maybe together
you and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't goin' nowhere
take your fast car
and keep on driving
Said I remember
when we were driving
driving in your car
speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out
before us and your arm
felt nice wrapped
around my shoulder
and I.., I.. had a feeling
that I belonged
I.., I.. had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone
be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough
so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
leave tonight
or live and die this way
