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 |
F#m |
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk |
E4 |
City lights lay out before us |
D |
And your arm felt nice wrapped |
F#m |
'round my shoulder |
E D F#m |
And I had a feeling that I belonged |
E D E |
And I had feeling I could be someone, |
E |
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 |
