Intro

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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 wont 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

Verse 3

 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

 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

Verse 4

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

Chorus 1

I remember when 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

Verse 5

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 girl

I know things will get better

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

Well move out of the shelter

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

Chorus 2

I remember when 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

Verse 6

You got a fast car

 And 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 of your kids

I'd always hoped for better

 Thought 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

Chorus 3

I remember when 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

Verse 7

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
