| 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 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 outta 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
|
| Finally see what it means to be living
|
| See, my old man's got a problem
|
| He lives with a 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
|
| When momma went off and left him
|
| She wanted more from life than he could give
|
| I said "Somebody's gotta take care of him"
|
| So I quit school, and that's what I did
|
| 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
|
| So I remember when we were driving
|
| Driving in your car
|
| Speed so fast it 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
|
| I-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 bigger house and live in the suburbs
|
| So I remember when we were driving
|
| Driving in your car
|
| Speed so fast it 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
|
| I-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 drinkin' late at the bar
|
| See more of your friends than you do your kids
|
| I'd always hoped for better
|
| Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
|
| I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
|
| So take your fast car and keep on driving
|
| So I remember when we were driving
|
| Driving in your car
|
| Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
|
| City lights lay out before us
|
| And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
|
| And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
|
| I-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 |
