You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we'll make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose Maybe we'll make somethin' Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us outta here I've been workin' at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives for the bottle, that's the way it is He said his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama ran 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, 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 'Cause I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling like I belonged I got a feelin' I could be someone Be someone, be someone 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
