David Usher - Fast Car lyrics

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together, we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at a convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I could both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See my old man, he's got a problem Lives with a bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working Body's too young for looking like his Mama went off and left him Wanted more from life than he could give I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him" I quit school that's what I did, what I did, what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough that we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So remember when we're driving, driving in your car Speed so fast 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 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 And I work in a market in the checkout line I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs So remember when we're driving, driving in your car Speed so fast 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 Had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job, pays all our bills Stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought we'd get together you and me would find it Got no plans, I ain't going nowhere Take your fast car and keep on driving 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 So remember when we're driving, driving in your car Speed so fast 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 I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone
