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've got nothing to prove
You've got a fast car I've 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 Finally see what it means to be living
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've got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision 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 arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders And I had Had a feeling that I belonged And I had Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
You've got a fast car I've got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Then maybe together you and me would find it I've got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
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 a feeling that I belonged And I Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
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
