lyrics | learn to sing Fast Car (guitar cover)

One, two, three, go.

Got a fast car.

I want it to get to anywhere.

Maybe we'll make a deal.

Maybe together we can get somewhere.

Any place is better.

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.

Maybe we'll make something.

Me, myself, I got nothing to prove.

You've got a fast car I've got a plan to get us out of here

Been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs Find to see what it means to be living

See my old man's got a problem, he lives with a bottle that's the way it is, say his body's

too old for workin', his body's too young to look like this, my momma 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 that's what I did.

No, 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

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Yeah

So remember when we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast I thought like I was drunk

City lights fade out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I, I had a feeling that I belonged

I, I had a feeling I could be someone

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

We go cruising, entertain ourselves

Still ain't got a job

And I work like an as-a-checkout girl

I know things will get better

You find work and I'll get promoted and move out of the shelter

Move in the suburbs and live in the suburbs

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast I thought like I was drunk

City lights laid out before us

With your arms and plants right around my shoulder

And I, I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
