Verse 2 - same as first Verse -
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here:
I been working at the convenience store,
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Wont'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.
 
 
Interlude: Cmaj7, G, Em7, DD chord 
 
 
Verse 3 - same as first Verse -
You see my old man's got a problem:
He live with the bottle, thats the way it is.
He says his body's too old for working,
His body's too young to look like his.
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
So I quit school and that's what I did.
 
 
Interlude: Cmaj7, G, Em7, DD chord 
 
 
Verse 4 - same as first Verse -
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision:
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Verse 5 - same as first Verse -
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourelves;
you still ain't fot a job
And work in a market as a checkout girl.
I know things will get better:

We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

You got a fast car
And i got a job that pays all our bills.

I got no plans i ain't going nowhere,
so take your fast car and kep on driving.
