You got a fast car   I want a ticket to anywhere   Maybe we can make a deal   Maybe together we can get somewhere   Anyplace is better   Starting from zero got nothing to lose   Maybe we'll make something   Me myself I got nothing to prove      You got a fast car   I got a plan to get us out of here   I been working at the convenience store   Managed to save just a little bit of money   We won'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 living      See my old man'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 his   My mama 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 did      You got a fast car   Is it fast enough so that we can fly away   We gotta make a decision   Leave tonight or live and die this way      So remember when we're driving, driving in your car   The speed so fast 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   And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone      You got a fast car   We go cruising, entertain ourselves   You still ain't got a job   And I work in a 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      So remember when we're driving, driving in your car   The speed so fast 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   And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone      You 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 kids   I'd always hoped for better   Thought we'd be together you and me would find it   I got no plans I ain't going nowhere   Take your fast car and keep on driving      So remember when we're driving, driving in your car   The speed so fast 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   And 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
