You've 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've got a fast car   I've got a plan to get us out of here   I've been working at East Side's Health and Children's Centre   I've 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 can both get jobs   Finally see what it means to be living      You see my old man's got a problem   He lives with his prescription drugs and that's the way it is   His body's too old for working   His body's too young to look like his      My mama went off and left him   She wanted more from life than he could give   Somebody's got to take care of him   So I quit life and that's what I did      You got a fast car   But is it fast enough so we can fly away   We gotta make a decision   Leave tonight or live and die this way      I remember we were driving   Driving in your car   The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk   The city lights lay out before us   And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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 cruising to entertain ourselves   You still don't have a job   And I work in the 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      I remember we were driving   Driving in your car   The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk   The city lights lay out before us   And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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   I got a job that pays all our bills   You stay out late drinking at the bar   You see your friends more than you do your kids      I'd always hoped for better   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 driving      I remember we were driving   Driving in your car   The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk   The city lights lay out before us   And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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   But is it fast enough so we can fly away   We gotta make a decision   Leave tonight or live and die this way
