Fast Car
You got a fast car
I wanna ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll 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
'Cause me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Mm-hmm
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at a convenience store
I 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 find out it really means to be living
Mm-hmm, yeah, hmm
See I remember we were driving
Driving in your car and
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, yeah
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone, oh
Mm-hmm, yeah
I said, "My old man's got a problem"
He lives for the bottle, that's the way it works
His body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My momma 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
Oh-oh, that's what I did, ooh
See I remember 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, yeah
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Oh, yeah, ooh
I said, "You got a fast car"
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or we can die this way
I wanna ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll 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
'Cause me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Mm-hmm
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at a convenience store
I managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city

And find out it really means to be living
Mm-hmm, yeah, hmm
See I remember we were driving
Driving in your car and
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
