Fast Car

You 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 I got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me myself I got nothing to prove

Yes we can be somehow and get somewhere

Baby

You got a fast car

I got a plan to get us out of here

Been working at the convenience store

I Managed to save just a little bit of money

And we won't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

Finally see what it means to be living

You want to be somehow and get somewhere

Won't you?

See my old man's got a problem

He live with 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 been 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

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

live and die this way

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

Be someone and get somewhere

You got a fast car

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

And I work at a market as a checkout boy

I know things will get better

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

We'll move out of the shelter

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

Be someone and get somewhere

Baby

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 got a fast car

You got a fast car

Yes,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 than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me would find it

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Be someone and get somewhere

Baby

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

You gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

You won't be someone and get somewhere

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
