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 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 cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And fin'lly 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 He says his body's too old for working I say his bodys too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebodys got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember when we were driving driving in your car 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 got a fast car We go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in the 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 Is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
