You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anything 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 been working at a 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 see my omd 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 then 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 But is it fast enough so we can fly away We got to make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
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 I had a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still aint got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find a job and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
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 then you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe togehter you and me would find it I got no plans I anint going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You got to make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
