Leave tonight or live and die this way
Still gotta make a decision
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You got a fast car
be someone, be someone
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
City lights lay out before us
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Take your fast car and keep on driving
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I’d always hoped for better
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
You stay out drinking late at the bar
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You got a fast car
be someone, be someone
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
City lights lay out before us
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
And we’ll move out of the shelter
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
I know things will get better
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
You still ain’t got a job
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You got a fast car
be someone, be someone
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
City lights lay out before us
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Still gotta make a decision
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You got a fast car
So I quit school and that’s what I did
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
She wanted more from life than he could give
So Mama went off and left him
His body’s too young to look like his
He said his body’s too old for working
Live with the bottle, that’s the way it is
See, my old man’s got a problem
Finally see what it means to be living
And you and I can both get jobs
Just across the border and into the city
Won’t have to drive too far
Managed to save just a little bit of money
I been working at the convenience store
And I got a plan to get us out of here
You got a fast car
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Maybe we’ll make something
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Any place is better
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Maybe we make a deal
And I want a ticket to anywhere
You got a fast car
