Fast Car - Acoustic

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

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me and myself, I've got nothing to prove

You got a fast car

And I've got a plan to get us outta here

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 and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

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

Say I remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

Your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

I-I had a feeling that I belonged

And I-I had a feeling that I could be someone

(Be someone, be someone)

My old man's got a problem

Live with the bottle, that's the way it is

Says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

Mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

Said somebody's got to take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car

We go cruising, entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

Now 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs

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

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

Your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

I-I had a feeling that I belonged

And I-I had a feeling that I could be someone

(Be someone, be someone)

Say I remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

Arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling that I could be someone

Be someone, be someone
