Fast Car — текст песни (chapman tracy)

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we`ll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won`t have to drive too far
Just `cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man`s got a problem
He live with the bottle that`s the way it is
He says his body`s too old for working
I say his body`s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody`s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that`s what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember 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 feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain`t got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You`ll find work and I`ll get promoted
We`ll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I`d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain`t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
