Fast Car

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jabe] You've got a fast car I want to take it to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal 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 got nothing to prove [Verse 2: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk] You've got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here Been working at a convenience store Managing to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive to far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living! [Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe] So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling I once belonged Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Verse 3: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk] See, my old man's got a problem He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his When mama 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! [Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe] So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling I once belonged Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Verse 5: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk] You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinkin' late at the bar You see more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together, you and me'd find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving! [Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe] So I remember that we were driving, what? Driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling I once belonged Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Outro: Jabe] You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
