The Wilkinsons - Fast Car lyrics

You got a fast car I want a ticket 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 Baby we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove You've got a fast car I got a plan to get us outta 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 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 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 See my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say a 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, that's what I did I remember we were driving driving in your car 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 You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in the market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of this trailer Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more your friends than you do your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me'd find it Got no plans, we ain't going nowhere We just take a fast car and keep on driving, oh I remember when we were driving driving in your car 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 got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You got a fast car You leave tonight or live and die this way You got a fast car You leave tonight or live and die this way...
