Fast Car~~~~~
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplave 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 the converience store Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive to 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 see my old man's got a problem
He live 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 car of him
So I quit school and thant's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or we can die this way
I remember we were driving driving in you car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And you arm felt nice wrapped' around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And i had feeling I could be someone, be someone,
be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a jobAnd 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 big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving driving in you car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And you arm felt nice wrapped' around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And i had feeling I could be someone, be someone,
be someone
You got a fast car and I got a job that pays all out bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Sww more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would gind it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving driving in you car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And you arm felt nice wrapped' around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And i had feeling I could be someone, be someone,
be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or we can die this way
