You've 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 nothing we got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You've got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
Working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We don'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 when 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, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
See my old man has got a problem
He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
Mama went off and left him
Said she wanted more than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school and that's what I did
I remember when 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
And I had, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling I could be someone
You remember when 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
And I had, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling I could be someone
I had, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
