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 bette
r.
Starting from zero, got
nothing to lose.
Maybe we'll make somet
hing,
Me myself, I got
nothing to prove.

And I got a plan
to get us out of here

Managed to save j

far
Just c
ross the border and
into the city
You and I c
an both get jobs
And
finally see what it
means to be living

Verse 3
You see
my old man's
got a problem
He
live with the bottle
that's the way it is
He says his

His b

look like his
My
mama went off and
left him
She w

he could give
I said, "
somebody's got to take
care of him"
So I
quit school and
that's what I did

Chorus 1
I rem
ember 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
I..
.. had a
feeling that I belonged
And
I..
.. had a
feeling I could be someone,
be someone,
be someone

Verse 5
You got a fast
car
And
we go cruising to enterta
in ourselves
You
still ain't got a j
ob
And I
work in a market
as a checkout girl
I know things will get b
etter
You'll find work and I
'll get promoted
Well move out of the
shelter
Buy a big house and
live in the suburbs

Chorus 2
I rem
ember when we
were driving, driving in your car
The
speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

feeling that I belonged
And
I..
.. had a

You got a fast
car
And
I got a job that
pays all our bills
You

late at the bar
See
more of your friends than you

I got no plans I ain't
going nowhere
So
take your fast car an
d keep on driving
