I got a plan to get us out of here:

Managed to save just a little bit of money.
C7M G
Won' t have to drive too far
Em D
Just ' cross the border and into the city,
C7M G
You and I can both get jobs
Em D
And finally see what it means to be living.
C7M G
You see, my old man' s got a problem:
Em D
He live with the bottle, that&rsquo s the way it is.
C7M G
He says his body' s too old for working,
Em D
His body' s too young to look like his.
C7M G Em D
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
C7M G
I said, "Somebody' s got to take care of him."
Em D
So I quit school and that' s what I did.
C7M G
You got a fast car.
Em D
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
C7M G
We gotta make a decision:
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
Em C
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Em C

Em C

C Em D Em C Em
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
