Fast car

You've got a fast car

I wanna a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can 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've got nothing to prove



You've got a fast car

I've got a plan to get us out of here

I been working at the convenience store

I 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

Finally see what it means to be living.



You've got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way



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 shoulders

And I,E,I had the feeling that I belonged

And I,E,I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone



You see 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

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.





So remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speeded so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulders

And I,E,I had the feeling that I belonged

And I,E,I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
