[B]
[C#m] You [B] got a class to score
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Or any place is better
Starting from zero
Got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a class to score
And I got a plan
To get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save a little bit of money
We don't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be a leatherhead
You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with a bottle of his way it is
He said his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama she oughta been left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
Said somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school, that's what I did
You got a class to score
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Cause I remember when [E] we were driving
Driving in your [B] car
You speed so fast felt like I was [G#m] drunk
And the city lights lay out the [F#] force
And your arm felt nice right from [E] my shoulder
And [G#m] I, I [F#] had a feeling that I [E] belonged
And [G#m] I, I [F#] had a feeling I could be someone
[E] Be someone, [F#] be someone
[B]
If you got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
We still ain't got a job
Now I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
If you'll find work
I'll get promoted and we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburb
Cause I remember when we [E] were driving
Driving in your [B] car
You speed so fast felt like I was drunk
[G#m] And the city lights lay out the [F#] force
And your arm felt nice right from my shoulder
[E] And [G#m] I, I [F#] had a feeling that I [E] belonged
And [G#m] I, I [F#] had a feeling I could be [E] someone
Be [F#] someone, [B]
be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Say more of your friends than you do your kids
I'd always hoped for better
But maybe together you and me find it
Ain't got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
[C#] So take [B] your fast car and keep on driving
I remember when we were driving
You speed so fast felt like I was drunk
