Fast Car Songtext
von Gaia

You′ve got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
So maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I′ve got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us outta here
I′ve been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won′t have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living


See my old man's got a problem
He lives with a bottle that′s the way it is
Says his body's too old for working
His body′s too young to look like this
My momma went off and left him
She wanted more to life than he could give
Said somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school and that′s what I did

You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain′t got a job
And I work in a market as a check-out girl
I know things will get better
You′ll find a work and I'll get promoted
We′ll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs


So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You've got a fast car
I′ve got a job that pays all our bills
You still out drinking late at the bar
See more your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
That maybe together you and me would find it
So I got no plans I ain′t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

So remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You've got a fast car
Fast enough so we can fly away?
You've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
