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
I got a plan to get us out of here
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
but 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
is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

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 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 remember when we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone

be someone

be someone


You got fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for a better

Thought 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


So remember when we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
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 you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
