Fast Car

Oh oh

Oh

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

I've been working at a convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far

Just across the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

You got a fast car fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

So 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 I had a feeling that I belonged

And I I had a feeling that I could be someone

Had a feeling that I could be someone

See my old man's got a problem

He live with the bottle that's the way it is

Says his body's too old for working

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 and we go cruising

To entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

Now 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

You got a fast car

You gotta fast enough so you can fly away

You gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember we were driving

Driving in your car

The speed so fast 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

And I had a feeling that I could be someone

Had a feeling that I could be someone

Be someone

Had a feeling that I could be someone
