Fast Car

You got a fast car
 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 and myself I 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
 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
 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 'round my shoulder
 And I had a feeling that I belonged
 And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
 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 his
 And 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
 And I quit school and that's what I did
 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 '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
 But is it fast enough so you can fly away
 We gotta make a decision
 To leave tonight or live and die this way
 Because 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 'round my shoulder
 And I had a feeling that I belonged
 And I had a feeling I could be someone,
 And I had a feeling I that I belonged
 And I had a feeling that I could be someone, be someone
 You got a fast car
 But is it fast enough so you can fly away
 We gotta make a decision
 To leave tonight or live and die this way
