I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
Been working at a convienence store
Managed to save just a little bit'a money
Won't have to drive too far
Just across the boder and into the city
You can I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be livin'
So remember when we were...
Drivin, drivin in you car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And you arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I...had a feeling that I belonged
And I...had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
See my old man's got a problem
Lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's to old for working
His body's to young to look like his
So momma went off and left him
Wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school that's what I did
You got a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
I work in the checkout line
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
So remember when we were...
Drivin, drivin in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I...had a feeling that I belonged
And I...had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fasat car
Is it fast enough that we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we were...
Drivin, drivin in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay our before us
And you arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I...had a feeling that I belonged
And I...had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
