Intro: | Dadd11 | | Dad11 (X2)
VERSE 1:
You got a fast car,
Dadd11
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we make a deal,
Dadd11
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Any place is better.
Dadd11
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Maybe we'll make something,
Dadd11
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

VERSE 2:
You got a fast car
Dadd11
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Dadd11
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We wont have to drive too far
Dadd11
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Dadd11
And finally see what it means to be living

VERSE 3:
You see my old man's got a problem
Dadd11
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
Dadd11
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
Dadd11
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, "somebody's got to take care of him"
Dadd11
So I quit school and that's what I did

VERSE 4:
You got a fast car
Dadd11
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Dadd11
We leave tonight or live and die this way
Link: | Dadd11 | | Dad11
CHORUS 1:
Dadd11
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The 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 that I belonged
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Link: | Dadd11 | | Dad11
VERSE 5:
You got a fast car
Dadd11
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
Dadd11
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
Dadd11
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Well move out of the shelter
Dadd11
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
Link: | Dadd11 | | Dad11
CHORUS 2:
Dadd11
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The 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 that I belonged
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

VERSE 6:
You got a fast car
Dadd11
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Dadd11
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Dadd11
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
Dadd11
So take your fast car and keep on driving
Link: | Dadd11 | | Dad11
CHORUS 3:
Dadd11
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The 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 that I belonged
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

VERSE 7:
