[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Startin' from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me myself, I got nothing to prove, hey
Gonna be someone, get somewhere, together

[Verse 2]
And you got a fast car
I've got a plan that'll get us outta here
Been working at the convenience store
I managed to save just a little bit of money
And we don’t have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be livin'
Gonna be someone, get somewhere, dontcha


[Verse 3]
See my old man's got a problem
He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is
He say his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My momma went off and left him
She wanted more from life than what he could give
Said somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school, that’s what I did
[Refrain]
And you got a fast car
Is it fast enough that we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
To leave tonight or live and die this way
Live and die this way, hey

[Chorus]
Remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
And, city lights lit up before us
And your arms good and nice wrapped around my shoulder
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be somewhere

[Verse 4]
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
And I work at the market as a checkout boy
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I’ll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
Be someone, be somewhere
[Chorus]
So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
And city lights laid out before us
And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder
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]
So you got a fast car
You got a fast car
It's you that got a fast car
I've got a job pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bars
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I always hoped for better
That 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
Start to be someone, get somewhere

[Refrain]
So, you got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
To leave tonight or live and die this way
You wanna be someone and get somewhere
[Chorus]
Remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
And city lights laid out before us
And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
