you got a fast car
i got a job that pays all our bills
you stay out drinking 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
i got no plans, i ain’t going nowhere
so take your fast car and keep on driving
“fast car” (1988)
