Nathan Evans - Fast Car
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Me, myself, i got nothing to prove
★ verse 2 ★
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just across thе border and into the city
You and i can both get jobs
Finally see what it mеans to be living
★ verse 3 ★
See, my old man's got a problem
He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for workin'
His body's too young to look like his
Mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life than he could give
I said, "somebody's gotta take care of him"
I quit school and that's what i did
★ pre-chorus ★
You 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 ★
So i remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
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, i had a feeling that i belonged
And i, i had a feelin' i could be someone
Be someone, be someone
★ verse 4 ★
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin' 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'd find it
I got no plans, i ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on drivin'
★ chorus ★
So i remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
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, i had a feeling that i belonged
And i, i had a feelin' i could be someone
Be someone, be someone
★ outro ★
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
