Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we'll make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose

Maybe we'll make somethin'

Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove

You got a fast car

I got a plan to get us outta here

I've been workin' at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far

Just across 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 for the bottle, that's the way it is

He said his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My mama ran 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, that's what I did[Verse 4]

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

'Cause I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car

Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk

City lights laid out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling like I belonged

I got a feelin' I could be someone

Be someone, be someone

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
