_ _ You got a fast car, and I want it to get you anywhere.
Maybe we 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, but me, myself, I got nothing to prove. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ You got a fast car, and I got a plan to get us out of here.
Been working at the convenience store.
I managed to save just a little bit of money, and we won't have to drive too far.
[Gm] Just [Bb] cross the border and into the city.
You and I can both get jobs and finally see what it means to be living.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _

_ _ See, my old man's got a problem.
He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is.
He [Eb] says his body's [Bb] too old for working.
His body's too young to look like his.
My mama went off and left [Gm] him.
She wanted more from [Bb] life than he could give.
[Eb] I say [Bb] somebody's got to take care of him.
So I quit school, and that's what I did. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You got a fast car, fast enough so we can fly away.
We got to make a decision.
We [Dm] leave tonight or live and die [Bb] this way. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I [Gm] remember when [Eb] we were driving, driving in your [Bb] car.
Speed so fast, I felt like [Gm] I was drunk.
City lights lay out before [F] us, and your arm-built nights wrapped around [Gm] my shoulder.
And I had [F] a feeling that I belonged.
[Eb] And [Gm] I [F] had a feeling I could be [Eb] someone, be [F] someone, be [Eb] someone.
[Bb] _ _ _ _

_ _ You got a fast car, and we go cruising, entertain ourselves.
We still ain't got a job.
Now, work in 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 big house, and live in the suburbs. _ _ _ _ _

And I got no plans.
I ain't going nowhere.
Take your fast car and keep on driving.
