Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can 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
[Verse 2]
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
You 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
[Verse 3]
So, remember when 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 around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
[Verse 4]
See, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He said his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like this
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
[Verse 5]
So, remember when 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 around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
[Verse 6]
Yeah
Be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
[Verse 7]
So, remember when 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 around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone
