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 Finally see what it means to be living Driving, driving in your car Speeding so fast, felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm's so nice, wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged 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 a market as a checkout boy 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 Driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone See, my old man's got a problem He lives with a 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 When mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "Somebody's gotta 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 So I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone Driving, driving in your car Speeding so fast, it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
