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 weâll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
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
Wonât 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 manâs got a problem
He live with the bottle thatâs the way it is
He says his bodyâs too old for working
his bodyâs too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebodyâs got to take care of him
So I quit school and thatâs what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
so I remember when we were driving,driving in your car
Speed so fast it 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 I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ainât got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
Youâll find work and Iâll get promoted
Weâll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving,driving in your car
speed so fast It 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 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 till late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
Iâd always hoped for better
But maybe together you and me'd find it
If you got no plans and ainât 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 round my shoulder
And I,I had a feeling that I belonged
And I,I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
