Fast Car Lyrics

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhereAnyplace is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me, myself, I got nothing to proveYou see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like hisMy mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than what he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
Packed up school, that's what I didYou got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or we can die this wayI remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I 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
And I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car
And 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 kidsI'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on drivingRemember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I 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
And I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or we can die this way
