Fast Car

You got a fast car
 And I got 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
 You got a fast car
 I got a plan to get us out of here
 I've 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 into the city
 You and I can both get jobs
 And finally, see what it means to be living
 I remember we were driving, driving 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 that I belonged
 And 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
 And I work in a market as a checkout boy
 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
 I remember we were driving, driving 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 that I belonged
 And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
 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
 I say his body's too young to look like this
 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
 I remember we were driving, driving 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 that I belonged
 And I had a feeling I could be someone
 I remember we were driving, driving 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 that I belonged
 And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
