“Fast Car” by Luke Combs [Lyrics]

Fast Car [Lyrics]

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together, we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

See, my old man’s got a problem
He lives with a bottle, that’s the way it is
Body’s too old for working
Body’s too young to look like his
Mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, “Somebody’s gotta take care of him”
So I quit school, and that’s what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight, or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
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

So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin’ late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together, you and me’d find it
Got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
Take your fast car and keep on driving
Keep on driving
Keep on driving, keep on driving
Driving, keep on driving
Keep on driving, keep on driving

So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone
Be someone, be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
Fast enough so we can fly away
