[Live Performance @ Grammy's Ceremony 2024] <br /><br />Lyrics: <br /><br />You got a fast car <br />I want a ticket to anywhere <br />Maybe we make a deal <br />Maybe together we can get somewhere <br />Any place is better <br />Starting from zero, got nothing to lose <br />Maybe we'll make something <br />Me, myself, I got nothing to prove <br />You got a fast car <br />I got a plan to get us out of here <br />I been working at the convenience store <br />Managed to save just a little bit of money <br />Won't have to drive too far <br />Just 'cross the border and into the city <br />You and I can both get jobs <br />And finally see what it means to be living <br />See, my old man's got a problem <br />He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is <br />He says his body's too old for working <br />His body's too young to look like his <br />My mama went off and left him <br />She wanted more from life than he could give <br />I said, somebody's got to take care of him <br />So I quit school and that's what I did <br />You got a fast car <br />Is it fast enough so we can fly away? <br />We gotta make a decision <br />Leave tonight or live and die this way <br />So I remember we were driving, driving in your car <br />Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk <br />City lights lay out before us <br />And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder <br />And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged <br />I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone <br />You got a fast car <br />We go cruising to entertain ourselves <br />You still ain't got a job <br />And I work in a market as a checkout girl <br />I know things will get better <br />You'll find work and I'll get promoted <br />We'll move out of the shelter <br />Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs <br />So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car <br />Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk <br />City lights lay out before us <br />And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder <br />And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged <br />I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone <br />You got a fast car <br />I got a job that pays all our bills <br />You stay out drinking late at the bar <br />See more of your friends than you do of your kids <br />I'd always hoped for better <br />Thought maybe together you and me would find it <br />I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere <br />So take your fast car and keep on driving <br />So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car <br />Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk <br />City lights lay out before us <br />And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder <br />And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged <br />I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone <br />You got a fast car <br />Is it fast enough so you can fly away? <br />You gotta make a decision <br />Leave tonight or live and die this way. <br /><br />Songwriter(s): Chapman, Tracy. <br /><br />I do not and will not accept any monetary or other type of compensation for the editing and/or posting/publication of this video. <br />© All rights reserved belong to their respective owners.
