| Oh, woah, oh
|
| Oh, oh
|
| You got a fast car
|
| I want a ticket to anywhere
|
| Maybe we will 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
|
| And I got a plan to get us out of here
|
| I've been working at a convenience store
|
| Managed to save just a little bit of money
|
| We won't have to drive too far
|
| Just across 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
|
| 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, I had a feeling that I belonged
|
| And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
|
| Had a feeling that I could 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
|
| 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, I had a feeling that I belonged
|
| And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
|
| Had a feeling that I could be someone |
