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
