You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere



Anything is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

But me myself I got nothing to prove



You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us out of here

I been working at a convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We 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 omd man's got a problem

He lives 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 then he could give

I said somebody's got to take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did



You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away

We got to make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way



I remember when we were driving driving in your car

The 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 a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone



You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still aint got a job

And I work in a market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You'll find a job and I'll get promoted

We'll move out of the shelter

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs



You got a fast car

And I got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drin
