You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I've been workin' at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
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

See, my old man's got a problem
He lives for the bottle, that's the way it is
He said his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama ran 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, that's what I did

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

'Cause I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling like I belonged
I got a feelin' I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

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