You got a fast car, and 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, and I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store, managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far, just across the border and into the city
And you and I can both get jobs, finally see what it means to be living
See my old man's got a problem, he lived with a bottle and some weight
He said his body's too old for working, his body's too young to look like his
So mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's gotta 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?
Still gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live or die this way
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk, city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car, we go cruising, entertain ourselves, still ain't got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl, I know things will get better
You'll find a working house, get promoted and we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk, city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills
We stay out drinking late at the bar, see more girlfriends than you do your kids
I always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere, take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk, city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away
Still gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live and die this way
Thanks for watching!
