[G]
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 [Em] Starting [G] from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
[C] You [G] got a fast car [Em] I [G] got a plan to get us out of here
I've been looking at the comfy store Managed to save just a little bit of money
And we don't have to drive too far [Em] Just cross the [D] border and [G] into the city
And 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 a bottle that's the way it is
He said his body's too old for [Em] working His body's [G] too young to look like his
And mama ran off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give
her Said somebody's gotta take care of [Em] him
So [G] I quit school, that's what I [C] did [G]
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We've gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live in tides away
I remember when [C] we were driving Driving [G] in your car
Speed so fast, felt like I was [Em] drunk City lights laid out before [D] us
And your arms felt good wrapped around my [C] shoulders
And I, yeah, [G] I Had a [D] feeling that I belonged
[C]
I, yeah, [G] I Had a feeling [D] I could be someone, [G] be someone
You
[C] [G]
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 don't think things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And we'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburb
I remember when [C] we were driving Driving [G] in your car
