[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
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

[Verse 2]
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I 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
Finally see what it means to be living

[Verse 3]
See, my old man`s got a problem
He lives with a bottle, that`s the way it is
He says his body`s too old for working
His body`s too young to look like his
When 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


[Refrain]
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

[Chorus]
So I 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-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 4]
You got a fast car
We go cruising, 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

[Chorus]
So I 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-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


[Verse 5]
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin` 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`d find it
I got no plans, I ain`t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

[Chorus]
So I 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-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Refrain]
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
