You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better, starting from 0 got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself and I got nothing to prove

You see, my old man's got a problem
Living with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
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

See I remember when 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 round my shoulders
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone, no, no

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
Still ain't got a job
I’m working in a market as a checkout boy
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs, live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

See I remember when 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 round my shoulders
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone,
Be someone, be someone,

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Leave tonight or live and die this way
