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
