Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Starting from zero got nothing to loose

Maybe we'll make something

But 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

Won't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

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

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

The speed is so fast I 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

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

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

I said "somebody's got to take care of him"

So I quit school and that's what I did

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speed is so fast I 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 we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
