You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself i got nothing to prove You got a fast car And i got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and i can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast i felt like i was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And i had a feeling that i belonged And i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say 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 You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast i felt like i was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And i had a feeling that i belonged And i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
