_ _ _ _ You get a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we make a deal.
Maybe together we [E] can get [A] somewhere, any place is better.
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose, maybe we'll make something.
Me myself, I got nothing to prove. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You get a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of [D] here, been [A] working at the convenience
store.
Plan is to save just a little bit of money, won't have to drive too far.
Just cross the border and into the city, you and I can both get jobs and finally see what
it means to be a living. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ See my old man's got a problem, he 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 mama went off and left him.
He's wanting more from life than he could give, I say somebody's got to take care of him.
I quit school and that's what I did. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You get a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You got to make a decision, leave [E] tonight or live and die this [D] way.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So [D] remember when you were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast it felt like I was [F#m] drunk.
City lights stay out [E] before us and your arms on the strap around my [D] shoulder and [F#m] I, I [E] had
a feeling that I belonged.
[F#m] I _ [E] had a feeling I could be [D] someone, [E] be someone, be [D] someone.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You got a fast car, we go cruising, entertain ourselves, still ain't got a job.
Now work in [C#m] the market as a checkout [A] girl, I know things will get better.
You'll find work [E] and I'll get [A] promoted and we'll move out of the shelter, buy a bigger
house and live in the suburbs. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So remember [D] when you were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast it felt like I [F#m] was drunk.

_ _ _ _ _ You got a fast car, I got a job to pay all our bills.
[D] Yourself [A] drinking, late at the bar, see more of your [E] friends than you do your [A] kids.
I'd always hoped for better, thought maybe [E] together you and me, [A] fine, you got no plans,
I ain't going nowhere.
Take your fast car and keep on [D] driving.
