Lyrics:
I've got a fast car
and you 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

I've 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
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

So remember when we were driving driving in my car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And my arm felt nice wrapped 'round your shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
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
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

and I've got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
I still ain't got a job
And you work in a market as a checkout girl
you say things will get better
that I'll find work and you'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

So remember when we were driving driving in my car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And my arm felt nice wrapped 'round your shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

I've got a fast car
and you want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

I've got a fast car
and it is fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
