Boyce Avenue - Fast Car
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
