You got a fast car
+
And I want a ticket to anywhere
+
Maybe we make a deal
+
Maybe together we can get somewhere
+
Any place is better
+
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
+
Maybe we'll make something
+
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
+
You got a fast car
+
And I got a plan to get us out of here
+
Been working at the convenience store
+
Managed to save just a little bit of money
+
Won't have to drive too far
+
Just across the border and into the city
+
And 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 said his body's too old for workin'
+
His body's too young to look like his
+
So 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
+
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
+
Still gotta make a decision
+
Leave tonight or live and die this way
+
So 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 around 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
+
We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
+
You still ain't got a job
+
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
+
I know things will get better
+
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
+
And we'll move out of the shelter
+
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
+
So 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 around 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 got a job that pays all our bills
+
You stay out drinking late at the bar
+
See more of your friends than you do your kids
+
I'd always hoped for better
+
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
+
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
+
Take your fast car and keep on driving
+
So 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 around my shoulder
+
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
