Lyrics
0:03I want a ticket to anywhere
0:06Maybe we can make a deal
0:09Maybe together we can get somewhere
0:12Any place is better
0:15Starting from zero got nothing to lose
0:18Maybe we'll make something
0:21Me myself I've got nothing to prove
0:30You've got a fast car
0:33I've got a plan to get us out of here
0:36I've been working at the convenience store
0:39Managed to save just a little bit of money
0:42Won't have to drive too far
0:45Just across the border and into the city
0:48You and I can both get jobs
0:51Finally see what it means to be living
0:59See my old man's got a problem
1:03He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
1:06Says his body's too old for working
1:09His body's too young to look like his
1:12My mama went off and left him
1:15She wanted more from life than he could give
1:18I said somebody's got to take care of him
1:21So I quit school that's what I did
1:30You've got a fast car
1:33Is it fast enough so we can fly away
1:36We gotta make a decision
1:39Leave tonight or live and die this way
1:43So I remember when we were driving
1:46Driving in your car
1:48The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
1:51City lights lay out before us
1:54And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
1:57And I had
2:00Had a feeling that I belonged
2:03And I had
2:06Had a feeling I could be someone be someone
2:18You've got a fast car
2:21I've got a job that pays all our bills
2:24You stay out drinking late at the bar
2:27See more of your friends than you do of your kids
2:30I'd always hoped for better
2:33Then maybe together you and me would find it
2:36I've got no plans I ain't going nowhere
2:39So take your fast car and keep on driving
2:46So remember when we were driving
2:49Driving in your car
2:51The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
2:54City lights lay out before us
2:57And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
3:00And I
3:03Had a feeling that I belonged
3:06And I
3:09Had a feeling I could be someone be someone
3:21You've got a fast car
3:24Is it fast enough so you can fly away
3:27You've gotta make a decision
3:30Leave tonight or live and die this way
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've got nothing to prove You've got a fast car I've got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across 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 He lives with the bottle that's the way it is Says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his 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 that's what I did You've 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 I remember when we were driving Driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders And I had Had a feeling that I belonged And I had Had a feeling I could be someone be someone You've got a fast car I've got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Then maybe together you and me would find it I've got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So remember when we were driving Driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders And I Had a feeling that I belonged And I Had a feeling I could be someone be someone You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away You've gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
