Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh You got a fast car And I wanna take it to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Started from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And I had a plan to get us outta here Been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just passed 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 Leave tonight or live and die this way So remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before And your arm was all wrapped right 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone So my old man's got a problem Live with the bottle, that's the way it is His body's too old for working Body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give Somebody's gotta take care of him So I quit school, that's what I did You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves Still ain't got a job Work in a 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 the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before And your arm was all wrapped right 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone So I, hoo, hoo Darling, I had a feeling Mm, you left
