Fast Car
You got a Fast CarI want a ticket to anywhereMaybe we make a dealMaybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is betterStarting from zero got nothing to loseMaybe we’ll make somethingBut me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a Fast CarI got a plan to get us out of hereI've been working at the convenience storeManaged to save just a little bit of moneyWon’t have to drive too farJust cross the border and into the cityYou and I can both get jobsAnd fin'lly see what it means to be living
See my old man’s got a problemHe lives with the bottle that’s the way it isHe says his body’s too old for workingI say his body’s too young to look like hisMy mama went off and left himShe wanted more from life than he could giveI said somebody’s got to take care of himSo I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a Fast CarIs it fast enough so we can fly awayWe gotta make a decisionWe leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember when we were driving driving in your carSpeed so fast I felt like I was drunkCity lights lay out before usAnd your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belongedAnd I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a Fast CarWe go cruising to entertain ourselvesYou still ain’t got a jobAnd I work in the market as a checkout girlI know things will get betterYou’ll find work and I’ll get promotedWe’ll move out of the shelterBuy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving driving in your carspeed so fast I felt like I was drunkCity lights lay out before usAnd your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belongedAnd I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a Fast CarI got a job that pays all our billsYou stay out drinking late at the barSee more of your friends than you do of your kidsI’d always hoped for betterThought maybe together you and me'd find itI got no plans I ain’t going nowhereSo take your Fast Car and keep on driving
So I remember when we were driving driving in your carspeed so fast I felt like I was drunkCity lights lay out before usAnd your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulderAnd I had a feeling that I belongedAnd I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a Fast CarBut is it fast enough so you can fly awayYou gotta make a decisionYou leave tonight or live and die this way
