* I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I 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 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
Well 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
