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

[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
