[00:20.22]You got a fast car
[00:21.71]
[00:22.28]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:24.15]
[00:24.71]Maybe we can make a deal
[00:26.21]
[00:26.96]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:29.39]Anyplace is better
[00:30.27]
[00:31.57]Starting from zero  got nothing to lose
[00:33.95]Maybe we'll make something
[00:35.38]
[00:36.13]And me  myself  I got nothing to prove
[00:38.73]
[00:47.90]You got a fast car
[00:49.65]
[00:50.22]I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:52.71]Been working at the convenience store
[00:54.39]
[00:54.95]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:57.33]We won't have to drive too far
[00:59.51]Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:02.07]You and I can both get jobs
[01:04.25]And finally see what it means to be living
[01:06.56]
[01:15.98]You see my old man's got a problem
[01:18.42]He live with the bottle  that's the way it is
[01:20.73]He says his body's too old for working
[01:22.72]His body's too young to look like his
[01:25.28]My mama went off and left him
[01:27.53]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:29.78]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:32.15]So I quit school and that's what I did
[01:34.40]
[01:44.19]You got a fast car
[01:46.19]Is it fast enough that we can fly away 
[01:48.75]We gotta make a decision
[01:50.12]
[01:50.93]Leave tonight or live and die this way
[01:53.56]
[02:01.21]I remember we were driving  driving in your car
[02:05.14]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[02:07.70]City lights lay out before us
[02:09.63]And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[02:12.36]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[02:15.85]
[02:16.60]And I had a feeling I could be someone
[02:21.43]Be someone  be someone
[02:23.74]
[02:33.41]You got a fast car
[02:34.78]
[02:35.47]We go cruising entertain ourselves
[02:37.97]Still ain't got a job
[02:39.47]
[02:40.03]I work at the market as a checkout girl
[02:42.53]I know things will get better
[02:44.21]
[02:44.90]You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:47.27]We'll move out of the shelter
[02:49.59]Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
[02:51.96]
