Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

But me, myself, I got nothing to prove

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 what he could give

I said somebody's got to take care of him

Packed up school, that's what I did

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or we can die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I 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

You got a fast car

And 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 going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I 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

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so you can fly away?

You gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or we can die this way
