You got a fast car 
I want a ticket to anywhere 
Maybe we can make a deal 
Maybe together we can get somewhere 
Anyplace 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 
I got a plan to get us out of here 
I been working at the 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 could both get jobs 
Finally see what it means to be living 
 
See my old man's got a problem 
Lives with a bottle that's the way it is 
He says his body's too old for working 
Body's too young for looking like his 
Mama went off and left him 
Wanted more from life than he could give 
I said somebody's got to take care of him 
I quit school that's what I did 
What I did, what I did 
 
You got a fast car 
Is it fast enough that we can fly away 
We gotta make a decision 
Leave tonight or live and die this way 
 
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car 
The speed so fast 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 
We go cruising, entertain ourselves 
You still ain't got a job 
And I work in a market in the checkout line 
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 
 
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car 
The speed so fast 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 
I got a job pays all our bills 
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 we'd together you and me would find it 
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere 
Take your fast car and keep on driving 
 
You got a fast car 
Is it fast enough so you can fly away 
You gotta make a decision 
Leave tonight or live and die this way 
 
So remember when we're driving, driving in your car 
The speed so fast 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
