We gotta make a decision, Leave tonight or live and die this way Chorus (2:01) 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 Verse 5 (2:32) You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job, And 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs Chorus (2:58) 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 Verse 6 (3:29) 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 your friends than you do 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 Chorus (3:56) 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 Verse 7 (4:27) You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision, Leave tonight or live and die this way
