| You’ve 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 got nothing to lose
|
| Maybe we’ll make something
|
| Me myself I’ve got nothing to prove
|
| You’ve got a fast car
|
| I’ve 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 'cross 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 than he could give
|
| I said somebody’s got to take care of him
|
| I quit school and that’s what I did
|
| You’ve got a fast car
|
| But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
|
| We gotta make a decision
|
| We leave tonight or live and die this way
|
| So 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 the feeling that I belong
|
| And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
|
| You’ve got a fast car
|
| And we go cruising entertain ourselves
|
| You still ain’t got a job
|
| Now I work in the 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs
|
| So 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 the feeling that I belong
|
| And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
|
| You’ve got a fast car
|
| And I’ve 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 and I ain? |
| t going nowhere
|
| So take your fast car and keep on driving
|
| So 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 the feeling that I belong
|
| And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
|
| You’ve got a fast car
|
| Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
|
| We gotta make a decision
|
| Leave tonight or live and die this way |
