Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together, we can get somewhereAnyplace is better

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me, myself I got nothing to proveYou got a fast car

I got a plan to get us out of here

I've been working at a convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of moneyWon't have to drive too far

Just across the border and into the city

You and I could both get jobs

Finally see what it means to be livingSee my old man, he's got a problem

Lives with a bottle, that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

Body's too young for looking like hisMama went off and left him

Wanted more from life than he could give

I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him"

I quit school that's what I did, what I did, what I didYou got a fast car

Is it fast enough that we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this waySo remember when we're 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 shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belonged

Had a feeling I could be someone

Be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car

We go cruising, entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

And I work in a market in the checkout lineI 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 suburbsSo remember when we're 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 shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belonged

Had a feeling I could be someone

Be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car

I got a job, pays all our bills

Stay out drinking late at the bar

See more of your friends than you do of your kidsI'd always hoped for better

Thought we'd get together you and me would find it

Got no plans, I ain't going nowhere

Take your fast car and keep on drivingYou 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 waySo remember when we're 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 shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone

Be someone, be someone
