Verse 2
C♯M7
You got a fast
G♯
car And
E♯m
I got a plan
D♯
to get us out of here

Managed to save

Won't have to drive

cross the border

Verse 3
See,
C♯M7
my old man's
G♯
got a problem He
E♯m
live in the bottle,
D♯
that's the way it is
He said his
C♯M7
body's too old
G♯
for workin' His
E♯m
body's too young
D♯
to look like his
So
C♯M7
Mama went off
G♯
and left him She
E♯m
wanted more from life
D♯
than he could give
I said,
C♯M7
"Somebody's gotta
G♯
take care of him" So
E♯m
I quit school
D♯
and that's what I did

E♯m
Leave tonight
D♯
or live and die this way

D♯
So I remember when we were
Chorus
C♯
driving, driving in your car
G♯
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
E♯m
City lights lay out before us And
D♯
your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And
C♯
I,
E♯m
I had a
D♯
feeling that I belonged
C♯
I,
E♯m
I had a
D♯
feeling I could be someone,
C♯
be someone,
D♯
be someone
