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 out of here
Been working at a convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just across 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
Lives with the bottle that's the way it is
Says his body's too old for working
Body's too young for looking like his
Mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life than he could give
Said somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school, that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
We got to make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And oh, had a feeling that I belonged
Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
Still ain't got a job
And I work in a market in the checkout line
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're driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And oh, had a feeling that I belonged
Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job, pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I know it's all for the better
When we get together you and me finally
Got no plans and ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
We got to make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And oh, had a feeling that I belonged
Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
