Fast Car (Live from BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together, we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove [Verse 2] You've got a fast car I got a plan to get us outta here Been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money And we won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I, we both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living [Verse 3] See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle and that's the way it is Said his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like this So my mama went off and left him She wanted more life than what he could give I said somebody's gotta take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did [Verse 4] You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way [Chorus] See, I remember 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 [Verse 5] You've got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bars See more your friends than you do your kids See, I always hoped for the better Thought maybe together, you and me, we'd find it Ain't got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving Keep on driving [Chorus] See, I remember 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 had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone [Verse 6] You've got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way [Outro] This way, yeah Yeah, oh
