Fast Car

[Verse 1] You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothin’ to lose Maybe we'll make somethin' Me, myself, I got nothin’ to prove, hey [Refrain] Gonna be someone, get somewhere, babe [Verse 2] And you got a fast car I've got a plan that'll get us outta here Been workin' at the convenience store I managed to save just a little bit of money And we don't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get job Finally see what it means to be livin' [Refrain] I wanna be someone and get somewhere, don't you? [Verse 3] See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that’s the way it is He say his body’s too old for workin' I say his body’s too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than what he could give Said, somebody's gotta take care of him So I quit school, it's what I did [Pre-Chorus] And you got a fast car Is it fast enough that we can fly away? We gotta make a decision To leave tonight or live and die this way Live and die this way, yeah [Chorus] Remember when we were drivin', drivin’ in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk And the city lights lit up before us And your arms good and nice wrapped around my shoulder And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Refrain] Be someone and get somewhere [Verse 4] You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves Still ain't got a job And I work at the market as a checkout boy I know things'll 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 [Refrain] I wanna someone and get somewhere with you [Chorus] Remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk And the city lights lit up before us And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Verse 5] So you got a fast car You got a fast car Yes, you got a fast car And I've got a job pays all our bills You stay out drinkin' late at the bars See more of your friends than you do your kids I'd always hoped for better That maybe together you and me' find it Ain't got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere So take your fast car and keep on drivin' [Refrain] Just wanna be someone and get somewhere, baby [Pre-Chorus] So you got a fast car But is it fast enough that we could fly away? You gotta make a decision To leave tonight or live and die this way [Refrain] You wanna be someone and get somewhere [Chorus] Remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk And the city lights lit up before us And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone, yeah
