[00:00.58]Fast Car
[00:01.20]
[00:19.72]You got a fast car
[00:20.91]
[00:21.84]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:23.47]
[00:24.21]Maybe we make a deal
[00:25.34]
[00:26.52]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:28.39]
[00:28.90]Anyplace is better
[00:29.83]
[00:31.10]Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:33.48]Maybe we'll make something
[00:34.79]
[00:35.72]But me myself I got nothing to prove
[00:37.61]
[00:47.87]You got a fast car
[00:48.80]
[00:49.74]And I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:52.05]I been working at the convenience store
[00:53.38]
[00:54.27]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:56.66]We won't have to drive too far
[00:57.97]
[00:58.78]Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:00.36]
[01:01.24]You and I can both get jobs
[01:02.73]
[01:03.55]And finally see what it means to be living
[01:05.29]
[01:15.14]You see my old man's got a problem
[01:16.89]
[01:17.45]He live with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:19.75]He says his body's too old for working
[01:22.01]I say his body's too young to look like his
[01:24.08]My mama went off and left him
[01:25.59]
[01:26.60]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:28.47]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:30.28]
[01:31.02]So I quit school and that's what I did
[01:32.77]
[01:42.89]You got a fast car
[01:43.90]
[01:44.83]But is it fast enough so we can fly away
[01:46.70]
[01:47.52]We gotta make a decision
[01:48.45]
[01:49.57]We leave tonight or live and die this way
[01:51.39]
[01:59.94]I remember we were driving driving in your car
[02:02.74]
[02:03.37]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[02:05.37]
[02:05.93]City lights lay out before us
[02:07.23]
[02:07.92]And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
[02:10.29]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[02:13.94]
[02:14.81]And I had feeling I could be someone be someone be someone
[02:20.87]
[02:31.41]You got a fast car
[02:32.35]
[02:33.41]And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
[02:35.09]
[02:35.66]You still ain't got a job
[02:36.79]
[02:37.72]And I work in a market as a checkout girl
[02:39.59]
[02:40.27]I know things will get better
[02:41.59]
[02:42.58]You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:44.90]We'll move out of the shelter
[02:46.20]
[02:47.14]Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
[02:48.89]
[02:57.50]I remember we were driving driving in your car
[03:00.43]
[03:01.00]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[03:03.31]City lights lay out before us
[03:04.61]
[03:05.37]And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
[03:07.43]
[03:07.94]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[03:11.30]

[03:18.29]
[03:28.78]You got a fast car
[03:29.90]
[03:30.77]And I got a job that pays all our bills
[03:33.08]You stay out drinking late at the bar
[03:34.70]
[03:35.46]See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[03:37.82]I'd always hoped for better
[03:39.02]
[03:39.69]Thought maybe together you and me would find it
[03:42.13]I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[03:43.76]
[03:44.38]So take your fast car and keep on driving
[03:45.63]
[03:54.68]I remember we were driving driving in your car
