You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove


You got a fast car
And 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 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living


You see 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
I say 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


You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way


I remember we were driving, driving 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 had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


You got a fast car
And we go cruising to 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


I remember we were driving, driving 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 had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
