YOU GOT A FAST CAR
AND 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
AND 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 ACROSS THE BORDER
AND INTO THE CITY
AND YOU AND I...
CAN BOTH GET JOBS
FINALLY SEE
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LIVING
YOU SEE MY OLD MAN'S
GOT A PROBLEM
LIVE 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
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
SO, 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 AROUND 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
SO, I WORK IN THE MARKET
AS A CHECKOUT GIRL
I KNOW THINGS
WILL GET BETTER
AND 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
SO, 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 AROUND 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
AND 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
TAKE YOUR FAST CAR
AND KEEP ON DRIVIN'
SO, 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 AROUND 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, WE CAN FLY AWAY
STILL GOTTA MAKE A DECISION
LEAVE TONIGHT
OR LIVE AND DIE THIS WAY
