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 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

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 a feeling

I could be someone, be someone, be someone

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 a feeling

I could be someone, be someone, be someone
