You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we 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. [ C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..) ] x2

You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us outta here.
I been working at the convenience store, managed 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 living. [ C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..) ] x2

See, my old man's got a problem, he lives 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, she wanted more from life than he could give.
I said somebody's got to take care of him, I quit school and that's what I did. [ C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..) ] x2

You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live and die this way. C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..)

So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car, speed so fast it felt like I was drunk,

You got a fast car, we go cruising, entertain ourselves.
You still ain't got a job and I work in the market as a checkout girl.
I know things will get better, you'll find work and I'll get promoted.
We'll move out of the shelter, buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs. C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..)

You got a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills.
You stay out drinking late at the bar, see more of your friends than you do of your kids.
I'd always hoped for better, and maybe together you and me'd find it.
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere, take your fast car and keep on driving. [ C(..) G(..) Em(..) D(..) ] x2
