Lyrics

[00:20.600] You got a fast car
[00:22.600] I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:25.600] Maybe we make a deal
[00:27.600] Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:30.600] Anyplace is better
[00:32.600] Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:34.600] Maybe we'll make something
[00:36.600] But me myself I got nothing to prove
[00:48.600] You got a fast car
[00:50.600] And I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:53.600] I been working at the convenience store
[00:55.600] Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:57.600] We won't have to drive too far
[00:59.600] Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:02.600] You and I can both get jobs
[01:04.600] And finally see what it means to be living
[01:15.600] You see my old man's got a problem
[01:18.600] He live with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:20.600] He says his body's too old for working
[01:23.600] I say his body's too young to look like his
[01:25.600] My mama went off and left him
[01:27.600] She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:29.600] I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:32.600] So I quit school and that's what I did
[01:43.600] You got a fast car
[01:45.600] But is it fast enough so we can fly away
[01:48.600] We gotta make a decision
[01:50.600] We leave tonight or live and die this way
[02:01.600] I remember we were driving driving in your car
[02:04.600] The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[02:07.600] City lights lay out before us
[02:09.600] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[02:11.600] And I had a feeling that I belonged
[02:15.600] And I had feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[02:32.600] You got a fast car
[02:34.600] And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
[02:36.600] You still ain't got a job
[02:38.600] And I work in a market as a checkout girl
[02:41.600] I know things will get better
[02:43.600] You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:46.600] We'll move out of the shelter
[02:48.600] Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
[02:58.600] I remember we were driving driving in your car
[03:02.600] The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[03:04.600] City lights lay out before us
[03:06.600] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[03:08.600] And I had a feeling that I belonged
[03:15.600] And I had feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[03:29.600] You got a fast car
[03:31.600] And I got a job that pays all our bills
[03:33.600] You stay out drinking late at the bar
[03:36.600] See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[03:38.600] I'd always hoped for better
[03:40.600] Thought maybe together you and me would find it
[03:43.600] I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[03:45.600] So take your fast car and keep on driving
[03:55.600] I remember we were driving driving in your car
[03:58.600] The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[04:01.600] City lights lay out before us
[04:03.600] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[04:05.600] And I had a feeling that I belonged
[04:10.600] And I had feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[04:27.600] You got a fast car
[04:29.600] But is it fast enough so you can fly away
[04:31.600] You gotta make a decision
