[music]

[music]

>> You got a fast car,

and I [singing] want to take it to

anywhere. Maybe we make a deal.

Maybe together [singing] we can get

[music] somewhere. Any place is better.

Start from zero, got [singing] nothing

to lose. And maybe we'll [music] make

something.

Me, myself, I got nothing to prove.

You got a [music] fast car,

and I got a plan to get us out of here.

Been working at the convenience store.

[music]

Managed to save just a little bit of

money. Won't have to drive too far, just

across the border and into [singing] the

city, and you and I can both get [music]

jobs. Finally see what it means to be

living.

>> [music]

>> See, my old [singing] man's got a

problem.

He live in the bottle, that's [music]

the way it is. Said his bottle's too

[singing] old for working. His bottle's

too young [music] to look alike here. So

mama went off and left him. [singing]

She wanted more from life than he could

give. I said somebody's got to take care

[music] of him. So I quit school, that's

what I did.

>> [music]

>> You got a fast car. Is it fast [music]

enough so we could fly away? Still got

to make a decision.

Leave tonight [music] or live or die

this way. [singing]

So I remember when we were [music]

driving, driving in your car. Speed so

fast it felt like I was drunk. City

lights lay out before us, and your arm

[music] felt nice wrapped around my

shoulder. And I

had a [music] feeling that I belonged. I

I a feeling [music] I could be someone,

be someone, be someone.

>> [music]

>> You got a fastest car.

We go cruising [music]

and entertain ourselves. Still ain't got

a job. So I work [music and singing] in

the market as a checkout girl. I know

things will get better.

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

and we'll move out [music] of the

shelter, buy a bigger house, live in the

suburbs. [singing]

>> [music]

>> So I remember when we were driving,

driving in your car. Speed so fast I

felt like I [music] was drunk. City

lights lay out before us and your arm

felt nice wrapped around my shoulder

[music] and I

had a feeling that I belonged. [music]

I

had a feeling I could be someone, be

someone, be [music] someone.

>> [music]

>> You got a fastest car.

I got a job that pays all our bills. We

stay [music] out drinking late at the

bar so me and all your friends and you

do your kids. I know it's all for

better. Thought maybe together you and

[music] me would find it. I got no

plans. I ain't going nowhere. Take your

fast car and [music] keep on driving.

So I remember when we were driving,

driving in your car. [music]

Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk.

City lights lay out before us and your

arm [music] felt nice wrapped around my

shoulder and I

had a [music] feeling that I belonged. I

had a feeling [music] I could be

someone, be someone, be someone. [music]

>> [music]

>> You got a fast car. Is it fast [music]

enough so we can fly away? [singing]

Still got to make a decision.

Leave tonight or live and die this

[music] way.
