You got a fast car
And I got a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe, we'll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally, see what it means to be living
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt night wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout boy
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
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt night wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
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 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 got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt night wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt night wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
