You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can 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 meMe myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
AndI 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 across the border and into the city
You and I can could both get jobs
And finallyFinally see what it means to be living
You seeSee my old man's got a problem
He liveLives with the a bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body'sBody's too young to look for looking like his
My mamaMama went off and left him
She wantedWanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
SoI quit school and that's what I did
What I did, what I did

You got a fast car
But isIs it fast enough so that we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leaveLeave tonight or live and die this way
ISo remember we were driving when we're 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 beenter added
someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And weWe go cruising to cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a in the checkout girl line
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast 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 got a fast car
AndI got a job that pays all our bills
You stayStay 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 we'd together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So takeTake your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But isIs it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leaveLeave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast 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
