She wanted more from life than

I said somebody's got to take

care of him

So I

quit school and that's

what i did

We'll move out of the

Buy a bigger house and

live in the suburbs

Verse

You Got A fast

Car

I got a job that pays

all our bills

You stay out drinking late

at the bar

See

Thought maybe together you

and me find it

I got no plans I ain't g

oing nowhere

take your fast car and

keep on driving
