Fast Car

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself i got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And 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
And finally see what it means to be living

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 had a feeling that i belonged
And i had a feeling
I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You 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
So i quit school and that's what i did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

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 had a feeling that i belonged
And i had a feeling
I could be someone, be someone, be someone
