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 

You got a fast car 
I got a plan to get us outta 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 

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 

You got a fast car 
Is it fast enough so we can fly away? 
We gotta make a decision 
Leave tonight or live and die this way 



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

You got a fast car 
We go cruising, entertain ourselves 
You still ain't got a job 
And I work in the market as a checkout 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

You got a fast car 
I got a job that pays all our bills 
You stay out drinking late at the bar 
See more of your friends than you do of your kids 
I'd always hoped for better 
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it 
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere 
Take your fast car and keep on driving
