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 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 cross the border and into the city 
You and I can both get jobs 
And fin'lly see what it means to be living

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 
I say his bodys too young to look like his 
My mama went off and left him 
She wanted more from life than he could give 
I said somebodys got to take care of him 
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car 
Is it fast enough so we can fly away 
We gotta make a decision 
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember when we were driving driving in your car 
Speed so fast I felt like I was [bad word] 
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 
We go [bad word] to 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs

I remember we were driving driving in your car 
Speed so fast I felt like I was [bad word] 
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 
I got a job that pays all our bills 
You stay out drinking late at the bar 
See more of your friends than you do of your kids 
I'd always hoped for better 
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it 
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere 
So take your fast car and keep on driving

I remember when we were driving driving in your car 
Speed so fast I felt like I was [bad word] 
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 
You gotta make a decision 
You leave tonight or live and die this way
