You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we could 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 across 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
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We got to make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember we were 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 around my shoulder
I had, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says 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
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
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got 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
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You got to make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember we were 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 around my shoulder
I had, had a feeling that I belonged
I had, had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
Could be someone...
Had a feeling that I could be someone
