Ohhhhhhhh You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we 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 But 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 the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross 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 But is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
So 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 see, my old man's got a problem He lives 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 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 And 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 But is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
So I 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 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 Ende
