Fast Car Songtext

von David Usher

Oh, oh oh, oooo [type sounds through out song]

You've got a fast car
I wanna take it to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Baby together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Startin from zero got nothin' to lose
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at a convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I could both get jobs
Finally see what means to be livin'

See my old man's got a problem
Lives with a bottle thats the way it is
Cause his body's too old for the workin'
Body's too young for lookin like his
Mama went off and left him
Wantin' what from life that he can't give
Says somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school thats what I did
What I did, what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough that we could fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

Chorus:
So remember when we're drivin'
Drivin in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice right 'round my shoulder
Had a feelin' that I belong
And a feelin' that I could be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruisin' ???
Still ain't got a job
And I work in the market in the check out line
I know things'll get better
You'll find work and I'll get the money
And we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the summer

(Chorus)

You got a fast car
I got a job pays all our bills
Stay out drinkin late at the bar
It's more your friends than you do your kids
I know its all for better
But we get together we'll be fine
Ain't got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
Take your fast car and keep drivin'

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

(Chorus)
