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 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 feeling
I could be someone,
be someone, be someone
You got a 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 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
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 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
