See, my old man’s got a problemHe live with the bottle, that’s the way it isHe says his body’s too old for workingHis body’s too young to look like hisMama went off and left himShe wanted more from life than he could giveI said, somebody’s got to take care of himSo, I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast carIs it fast enough so we can fly away?Still gotta make a decisionLeave tonight, or live and die this way
So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your carSpeed so fast, I felt like I was drunkCity lights lay out before usAnd your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulderAnd I, I, I had a feeling that I belongedI, I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
