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've got a plan, it will get us outta here

I been working at the convenience store

I managed to save just a little bit of money

And we don'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 lives with a 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 momma went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

Said somebody's gotta take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did



And you got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

Live and die this way



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 arms felt nice wrapped around 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

Be someone, be somewhere



You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

And I work in a market as a checkout boy

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

Be someone, be somewhere



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 arms felt nice wrapped around 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

You got a fast car

Yes you got a fast car

I've got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bars

See more your friends than you do your kids

I always hoped for better

That maybe together you and me would find it

I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

To be someone, get somewhere



So you got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away?

You gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

You wanna be someone, and get somewhere



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 arms felt nice wrapped around 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 yeah
