0:18You got a fast car
0:20I want a ticket to anywhere
0:22Maybe we make a deal
0:24Maybe together we can get somewhere
0:26Any place is better
0:29Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
0:31Maybe we'll make something
0:33Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
0:35You got a fast car
0:37And I got a plan to get us out of here
0:39I've been working at a convenience store
0:41Managed to save just a little bit of money
0:43We won't have to drive too far
0:45Just across the border and into the city
0:47You and I can both get jobs
0:50And finally see what it means to be living
0:52You got a fast car
0:54Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
0:56We gotta make a decision
0:58We leave tonight or live and die this way
1:01♪
1:16So, I remember we were driving, driving in your car
1:19The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
1:21City lights lay out before us
1:23And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
1:25And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
1:29And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
1:35♪
1:40Had a feeling that I could be someone
1:44♪
1:51You see, my old man's got a problem
1:53He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is
1:55He says his body's too old for working
1:57I say, his body's too young to look like his
1:59My mama went off and left him
2:01She wanted more from life than he could give
2:03I said, somebody's got to take care of him
2:05So, I quit school and that's what I did
2:08You got a fast car
2:10And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
2:12You still ain't got a job
2:14And I work in a market as a checkout girl
2:16I know things will get better
2:18You'll find work and I'll get promoted
2:20We'll move out of the shelter
2:22Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
2:25You got a fast car
2:26Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
2:29We gotta make a decision
2:31We leave tonight or live and die this way
2:34♪
2:48So, I remember we were driving, driving in your car
2:52The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
2:54City lights lay out before us
2:56And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
2:58And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
3:02And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
3:08♪
3:13Had a feeling that I could be someone
3:16♪
3:21Had a feeling that I could be someone
3:26♪
