Fast Car
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal,maybe togehter we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better,starting from zero got nothing lo lose
Maybe we´ll make something,but 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
Yoe see my old man´s got a problem
he live with the bottle that´s the way it is
he say´s his body´s too old for working
I say his body´s too young to look like this
My Mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life that 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 desicion,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 a 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 checkout girl
I know things will get better
you´ll find work and I 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 desicion
You leave tonight or live and die this way
