You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
And me, myself, I got nothing to prove
ย
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
Been workin' at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
ย
You see my old man's got a problem
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
ย
You 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 way
ย
So I remember we were drivin', drivin' 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 shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone
ย
You got a fast car
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves
Still ain't got a job
I work at 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs
ย
So I remember we were drivin', drivin' 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 shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone
ย
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
ย
So I remember we were drivin', drivin' 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 shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone
ย
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
