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 we've got nothing to lose

maybe we'll make something

be me myself i've got nothing to prove

you've got a fast car

and i've got a plan to get us out of here

i've 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 old man's got a problem

he lives with the bottle, that's the way it is

he says his body is to old for working

his body is too young to look like this

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

so 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 have got to make a decision

we leave tonight or live and die this way

so remember when we were driving,driving in your car

the speed so fast feel like i was drunk

city lights lay out before us

and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder

i had the feeling that i belonged

i had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone

you've got a a fast car

and we go cruising entertain ourselves,

you still ain't got a job

now 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

so Remember when.....etc

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 that you do

of your kids

i'd always hoped for better

thought maybe together you and me would find it

i've got no plans and i aint going nowhere

so take your fast car and keep on driving

I remember when...etc
