And finally see what it means to be living
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
City lights lay out before us
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I been working at the convenience store
I got a job that pays all our bills
I got a plan to get us out of here
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling that I belonged
I know things will get better
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
I said somebody's got to take care of him
I want a ticket to anywhere
I work in a market as a checkout girl
I'd always hoped for better
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
Just 'cross the border and into the city
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove
My mama went off and left him
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
She wanted more from life than he could give
So remember we were driving, driving in your car
So take your fast car and keep on driving
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
We gotta make a decision
We'll move out of the shelter
You and I can both get jobs
You got a fast car
You got a fast car
You got a fast car
You got a fast car
You gotta make a decision
You stay out drinking late at the bar
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
