[Intro]
You know
Someday I believe I will be someone
And I won't stop trying until I succeed

[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to get anywhere
Maybe we 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
Wow, yeah, hey!

[Verse 2]
You got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
Working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
Wow, yeah, hey

[Verse 3]
You see, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say, his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more to life than he can give
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school, that's what I did
Wow, yeah, hey

[Verse 4]
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We got to make a decision
We'll leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
With your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulders and
I-I-I!
I gotta feeling that I belonged
I-I-I!
I gotta feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 1]
You got a fast car

Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Wow, yeah, hey!

[Outro]
You see, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
