Fast Car

[Verse 1]

You've got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me myself I've got nothing to prove

[Pre-Chorus]

See my old man's got a problem

He lives with a bottle that's the way it is

Says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My momma went off and left him

She wanted more to life than he could give

Said somebody's gotta take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did

[Chorus]

So I remember when we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and

I-I had a feeling that I belonged

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

[Verse 2]

You got a fast car

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

I work in a market as a checkout boy

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

Live in the suburbs

[Pre-Chorus]

You've got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

You've 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 felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and

I-I had a feeling that I belonged

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

Be someone, be someone

[Outro]

You've got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

You've gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Leave tonight or live and die this way
