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 East side`s health and childrens centre
   Managed to save just a little bit of money
   We won't have to drive too far
   Just across 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 prescription drugs and 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 life 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
  
   remember we were driving driving in your car
   speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
   City lights lay out before us
   And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
   I had a feeling that I belonged
   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 dont have 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
  
   remember we were driving driving in your car
   speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
   City lights lay out before us
   And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
   I had a feeling that I belonged
   I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
  
   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 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
  
   remember we were driving driving in your car
