Fast Car

You've 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
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working 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
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when 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 arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
And I had
Had a feeling that I belonged
And I had
Had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone

See my old man's got a problem
He lives with the 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 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, that's what I did
You got a fast car
We go cruising, 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've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You gotta a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when 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 arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
And I had
Had a feeling that I belonged
And I had
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
