You got a fast car, I wanna take it to anywhere, maybe we'll make a deal Maybe it'll get us somewhere, any place is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Be myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us outta here I've been working at the convenience store Marriage is safe, just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just cross the border, run into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem Lives with a badass the way it is Said his body's too old for working His father'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 gotta take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car, I'm too fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision What if tonight I let die this way? So I remember we were driving, driving our cars Speeding so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And the underbelly mats wrapped around my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job Not working the market as the checkout go I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get the money We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So I remember we were driving, driving our cars Speeding so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And the underbelly mats wrapped around my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays on our bills You stay out drinking, laid out the bars You marry your friends, then you do with your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together we would be fine I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere Just take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember we were driving, driving our cars So I remember we were driving, driving our cars Speeding so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And the underbelly mats wrapped around my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone
