Fast Car
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 well make something
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
Wont 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 mans got a problem
He live with the bottle
Thats the way it is
He says his bodys too old for working
His bodys too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more
From life than he could give
I said somebodys got to take care of him
So I quit school
And thats 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 remember we were driving,
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I 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 aint got a job
I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
Youll find work and Ill get promoted
Well move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving,
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I 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
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
Id always hoped for better
Thought maybe together
You and me would find it
I got no plans I aint going nowhere
So take your fast car
And keep on driving
I remember we were driving,
Driving in your car
Speed so fast I 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
Leave tonight or live and die this way
