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.
So I quit school and that's what I did.
You got a fast car.
Is it fast enough so we could fly away?
We gotta make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way.
I remember when we were driving,
driving in your car, speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
city lights lay out before us and your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
And I had a feeling that I belonged.
I had a feeling I could be someone,
be someone, be someone.
You got a fast car.
We go a cruising, entertain ourselves.
You still ain't got a job at the and I work in the market as a checkout girl.
I know ways things will get better.
thought You'll find to work and I'll get promoted.
We'll move no out of the shel ing ter,
where, so buy a big house and live in the suburbs.
I remember when we were driving,

And I had a feeling that I belonged.
I had a feeling I could be someone,
be someone, be someone.
You got a fast car.
I got a job that pays ter all our bills.
You stay out drink a ing at the bar,
see more of your friends than you do of your kids.
I'd al ways hoped will for better,
thought maybe to gether you and me'd find it.
I got no plans, I ain't go ing nowhere,
so buy a big house and live in the suburbs.
take your fast car and keep on driving.
You got a fast car.
Is it fast enough so you could fly away?
You gotta make a decision,
leave tonight or live and die this way.
