A, C, D, Em, G
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
