You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can 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
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
Finally see what it means to be living
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
I quit school that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember when 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 I had a feeling
That I belonged
I I had a feeling
I could be someone be someone be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising
To entertain ourselves 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs
So 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 I had a feeling that I belonged
I I had a feeling
I could be someone
Be someone be someone
You got a fast car
I've 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
But maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
