Fast Car

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we 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

But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car

I 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

finally see what it means to be living

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving,driving in your car

speed so fast It felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder

And I,I had a feeling that I belonged

And I,I had a feeling I could be someone

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so you can fly away

You gotta make a decision

You leave tonight or live and die this way
