[(Cadd9)]Any place is [(Gmaj)]better, sta[(Em7)]rting from zero got n[(Dmaj)]othing to lose,
[(Cadd9)]Maybe we'll make so[(Gmaj)]mething
But [(Em7)]me myself I got [(Dmaj)]nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were [(C)]driving driving in your car
The [(G)]speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[(Em)]City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice [(D)]wrapped 'round my shoulder
And[(C)(G)] I had a [(Em)]feeling that I bel[(D)]onged
And[(C)] I h[(G)]ad a feel[(Em)]ing I could be some[(D)]one, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking 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 would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
