The Real Fast Car

I wish i had me a turbo-engine rocket-fuel jet car

Don't know where i'd go but i sure know that i'd go far

Head a million miles from here, find myself a new home

What if that place turns out to be the same as the place from which i came?

What if i've got it good here and i don't even know?

What if that's why i'm still here when i really want to go?

I want to get away, i want to stay

I want to be free, i want you to build your world around me

I wish i could understand the meaning of my dreams

I wish i could write a song as good as visions of johanna

When i do will the heavens open and the angels sing hosanna?

I mean, how will i know i've done it? how will i realize?

When i sing it will a vision of you dance before my eyes?

And having something like that i'd have to try to top

Might be even worse than never having not no!

I wish i could hear what i'm saying now and smile

All the same, i haven't finished a song in a long, long while

Chorus

I dreamed the world was crumbling all around me

There in the rubble on the ground you found me

And i pull you tight i want to hold you close

At the same time i can't stay, i've got to go

And there's that car but it's all out of gas

I can tell by the speedometer it's the kind that goes real fast

I could be someone, be someone, you know i surely could

If i could stand on the rock where moses stood

Chorus twice
