Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want 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 got nothing to prove

♪

You got a fast car

I got a plan to get us out of here

Been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Don't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

Finally see what it means to be living

♪

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car

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-I had a feeling that I belonged

Oh, I-I, had a feeling I could be someone

Be someone, be someone

♪

See 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

My mama went off and left him

Wanted more to life than he could give

I said somebody's got to take care of him

So I quit school, 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
