Fast Car (Mixed)

[Verse 1]

You got a fast car

And I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove

[Verse 2]

You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us out of here

Been workin' at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far

Just across the border and into the city

And you and I can both get jobs

Finally see what it means to be livin'

[Verse 3]

See, my old man's got a problem

He live in the bottle, that's the way it is

He said his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

So mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said, "Somebody's gotta take care of him"

So I quit school and that's what I did

[Refrain]

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

Still gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

[Chorus]

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 4]

You got a fast car

We go cruising, entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

So I work in the market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

And we'll move out of the shelter

Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs

[Chorus]

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 5]

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 your kids

I'd always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me would find it

I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere

Take your fast car and keep on driving

[Chorus]

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Refrain]

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

Still gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
