| You got a fast car | |
| I want a ticket to anywhere | |
| Maybe we make a deal | |
| Maybe together we can get somewhere | |
| Anyplace is better | |
| Starting from zero got nothing to lose | |
| Maybe we'll make something | |
| But me myself I got nothing to prove | |
| You 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 | |
| We 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 | |
| You 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 | |
| I say 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 | |
| But is it fast enough so we can fly away | |
| We gotta make a decision | |
| We leave tonight or live and die this way | |
| I remember we were driving driving in your car | |
| The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk | |
| City lights lay out before us | |
| And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder | |
| And I had a feeling that I belonged | |
| And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone | |
| You got a fast car | |
| And we go cruising to entertain ourselves | |
| You still ain't got a job | |
| And I work in a 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 big house and live in the suburbs | |
| You got a fast car | |
| And 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 would find it | |
| I got no plans I ain't going nowhere | |
| So take your fast car and keep on driving | |
| You got a fast car | |
| But is it fast enough so you can fly away | |
| You gotta make a decision |
