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 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
So I Remember When We Were
Driving, Driving In Your Car,
The Speed So Fast 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
And 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,
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
You Got A Fast Car
And We Go Cruising To Entertain Ourselves;
You Still Ain't Got A Job
And I Work In A 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
But Is It Fast Enough So We Can Fly Away?
We Gotta Make A Decision
Leave Tonight Or Live And Die This Way
So I Remember When We Were
Driving, Driving In Your Car,
The Speed So Fast 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
And I Had A Feeling I
Could Be Someone, Be Someone, Be Someone
