Fast Car

[Verse 1] 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 been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means 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 When mama went off and left him She 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
