Verse 2

You got a fast car

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.

Wont'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.

Intro

Verse 3

You see my old man's got a problem:

He live with the bottle, thats 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.

Intro

Verse 4

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision:

Verse 5

You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourelves;

you still ain't fot a job

And 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.

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 your friends than you do your kids.

Thought maybe together you and me would find it,

I got no plans i ain't going nowhere,

so take your fast car and kep on driving.
