Kurt Hugo Schneider - Fast Car

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
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
But I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
And city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You 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 work
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
And city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
