Atlantic Records - Fast Car lyrics

[VERSE 1] You've got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to loose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I've got nothing to prove [VERSE 2] You've got a fast car I've got a plan to get us outta here I've been working at the convenience store 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 Finally see what it means to be living [VERSE 3] See my old man's got a problem He lives with a bottle that's the way it is Says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My momma went off and left him She wanted more to life than he could give Said somebody's gotta take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did [PRE-Chorus] You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We've gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way [Chorus] So I remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speed so fast felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and I-I had a feeling that I belonged And I-I had a feeling I could be someone (be someone) [VERSE 4] You've got a fast car I've got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bars See more your friends than you do your kids I always hoped for better That 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 [Chorus] So remember when we were driving Driving in your car Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and I-I had a feeling that I belonged And I-I had a feeling I could be someone (be someone) [PRE-Chorus] You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You've gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
