You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better

Startin´ from zero, got nothin´ to lose
Maybe we´ll make somethin´
Me, myself, I got nothin´ to prove, hey

Gonna be someone, get somewhere, babe

And you got a fast car
I´ve got a plan that´ll get us outta here
Been workin´ at the convenience store
I managed to save just a little bit of money
And we don´t have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get job
Finally see what it means to be livin´

I wanna be someone and get somewhere, don´t you?

See, my old man´s got a problem

He lives with the bottle, that´s the way it is
He say his body´s too old for workin´
I say his body´s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than what he could give
Said, somebody´s gotta take care of him
So I quit school, it´s what I did

And you got a fast car
Is it fast enough that we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
To leave tonight or live and die this way
Live and die this way, yeah

Remember when we were drivin´, drivin´ in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
And the city lights lit up before us

And your arms good and nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I had a feelin´ that I belonged
And I-I had a feelin´ I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Be someone and get somewhere

You got a fast car
We go cruisin´, entertain ourselves
Still ain´t got a job
And I work at the market as a checkout boy
I know things´ll 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

I wanna someone and get somewhere with you

Remember when we were drivin´, drivin´ in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
And the city lights lit up before us
And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I had a feelin´ that I belonged
And I-I had a feelin´ I could be someone, be someone, be someone

So you got a fast car
You got a fast car
Yes, you got a fast car
And I´ve got a job pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin´ late at the bars
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I´d always hoped for better

That maybe together you and me´ find it
Ain´t got no plans, I ain´t goin´ nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on drivin´

Just wanna be someone and get somewhere, baby

So you got a fast car
But is it fast enough that we could fly away?
You gotta make a decision
To leave tonight or live and die this way

You wanna be someone and get somewhere

Remember when we were drivin´, drivin´ in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
And the city lights lit up before us
And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feelin´ that I belonged
And I-I had a feelin´ I could be someone, be someone, be someone, yeah
