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 [bad word] 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.

Speeded so fast I felt like I was [bad word] 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

be someone, be someone
