You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace 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 the 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 live 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 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 got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember 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 And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to 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 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 drinking 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 would find it I got no plans I ain´t going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
