Fast Car

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we'll 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 And I got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at a convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just across 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 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, I had a feeling that I belonged And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone Had a feeling that I could be someone You see, my old man's got a problem Live with the bottle, that's the way it is Said his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his 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 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 Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So, I remember 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, I had a feeling that I belonged And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone Had a feeling that I could be someone (be someone) Had a feeling that I could be someone
