Fast Car

(album: One Of One - 2020)

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
'Cause me, myself, I got nothing to prove
Mm, hmm

You got a fast car and
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at a 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 find out what it means to be living

See I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged, yeah
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone, ooh

I said my old man's got a problem
He lives for the bottle, that's the way it works
His body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My momma went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said "Somebody's gotta take care of him"
So I quit school, and that's what I did
Oh, oh, that's what I did

See I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Oh, yeah, oooooh

I said you got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight, or we can die this way
