Intro: D A F#m7 E
D A F#m7 E
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
D A F#m7 E
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
D A F#m7 E
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money
D A F#m7 E
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city
D A F#m7 E
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living
D A F#m7 E
D A F#m7 E
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is
D A F#m7 E
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his
D A F#m7 E
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give
D A F#m7 E
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did
D A F#m7 E
D A F#m7 E
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away
D A F#m7 E
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
A
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
F#m
City lights lay out before us
E
And your arm felt nice wrapped'round my shoulder
D F#m E
And I had a feeling that I belonged
D F#m E D E
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
D A F#m7 E
D A F#m7 E
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
D A F#m7 E
You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl
D A F#m7 E
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted
D A F#m7 E
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
D A F#m7 E

You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills
D A F#m7 E
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids
D A F#m7 E
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it
D A F#m7 E
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving
D A F#m7 E
