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
