fast horse

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You got a fast horse
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

[Verse 2]

You got a fast horse
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to gallop too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

[Verse 3]

See, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He say his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

[Pre-chorus]

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

[Chorus 1]

So I remember when we were riding, riding on your horse
Going so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay 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

[Verse 4]

You got a fast horse
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

[Chorus 2]

So I remember when we were riding, riding on your horse
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay 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

[Verse 5]

You got a fast horse
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 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 horse and keep on riding

[Final chorus]

So I remember when we were riding, riding on your horse
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay 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

[Outro]

You got a fast horse
Is it fast enough so you can ride away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
