Fast Car
Oh you got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
And maybe together, we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero I got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Oh you got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Oh my old man's got a problem
He lives for the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
And he don't even see his kids
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
Somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school, that's what I did
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
I had a feeling I could be someone
Oh you got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
Die this way, die this way
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
I had a feeling I could be someone
Oh I wish I could be someone
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
And maybe together, we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero I got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Oh you got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Oh my old man's got a problem
He lives for the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
And he don't even see his kids
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
Somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school, that's what I did
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
I had a feeling I could be someone
Oh you got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
Die this way, die this way
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 arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and
I-I had a feeling that I belong
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone
I had a feeling I could be someone
Oh I wish I could be someone
