Intro

Verse 1

You got a fast

car.

I want 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.

Instrumental

Verse 2

You got a fast

car.

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.

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.

Instrumental

Verse 3

You see,

my old man's got a

problem:

live with the bottle, that’

s the way it is.

says his body's too old for

working,

His

body's too young to

look like his.

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."

I quit school and that's

what I did.

Instrumental

Verse 4

You got a fast

car.

But is it

fast enough so we can

fly away?

Still gotta make a

decision:

Leave tonight or live and

die this way.

Instrumental

Chorus

So I remember when: 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

had a

feeling that I belonged

And

had a

feeling I could be someone, b

e someone

, be someone.

Instrumental

Verse 5

You got a fast

car.

And

we go cruising to enter

tain ourselves;

you still ain't got a

job

So I w

ork in a market as a c

heckout 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 bigger house and

live in the suburbs.

Instrumental

Chorus

So I remember when: 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

had a

feeling that I belonged

And

had a

feeling I could be someone, b

e someone

, be someone.

Instrumental

Verse 6

You got a fast

car.

And

I got a job that

pays all our bills.

You stay out drinking

late at the bar,

You see

more your friends than you

do 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,

take your fast car and

keep on driving.

Instrumental

Chorus

So I remember when: 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

had a

feeling that I belonged

And

had a

feeling I could be someone, b

e someone

, be someone.
