Boyce Avenue - Fast Car

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

And maybe we'll make something

And me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car

I got a plan to get us outta here

Been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We 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

See my old man's got a problem

Live with the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My momma went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said somebody's got take care of him

So I quit school, that's what I did

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we could fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast, felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms 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

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

We go cruising, entertain ourselves

Still ain't got a job

I work at 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 the shelter

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

So I remember we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast, felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms 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

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

I got a job pays all our bills

Stay out drinking late at the bars

See more of your friends than you do of your kid

I always hoped for better

For maybe together you and me find

And I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

So 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 arms 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

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you could fly away?

You gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
