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 Yeah You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us outta here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won'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 live with the bottle, that's the way it is He 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, is it 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 Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder 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 cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job, I 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
