Fast Car

You've got a fast car
 I want a ticket to anywhere
 Maybe we can make a deal
 Maybe together we can get somewhere
 Any place is better
 Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
 We'll make something
 Myself, I got nothing to prove
 You've got a fast car
 I got a plan to get us out of here
 Working at East Side's San Jose Child Development Center
 I've managed to save just a little bit of money
 We won't have to drive too far
 Just across the border and into the city
 You and I can both get jobs
 And finally see what it means to be living
 ♪
 You see, my old man's got a problem
 He lives with prescription drugs and that's the way it is
 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
 Somebody's got to take care of him
 So I quit life and that's what I did
 You got a fast car
 But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
 We gotta make a decision
 Can leave tonight or live and die this way
 ♪
 I remember we were driving
 Driving in your car
 The speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
 The city lights lay out before us
 And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
 And I had a feeling that I belonged
 I had a feeling I could be someone
 Be someone
 Be someone

 You got a fast car
 We go cruising to entertain ourselves
 You still don't have a job
 And I work in the 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 big house and live in the suburbs

 You got a fast car
 I got a job that pays all our bills
 You stay out late drinking at the bar
 You see your friends more than you do your kids
 I'd always hoped for better
 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
