You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And 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 We won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say 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 You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way See I remember we were driving, driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising 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 We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs See I remember we were driving, driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And 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 See I remember when we were driving, driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way

Step out the front door like a ghost Into the fog where no one notices the Contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels Get a better view of the crumbling Difference between wrong and right. I walk in the air, between the rain, Through myself and back again where? I Don't know Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying why? I don't know Round here we always stand up straight Round here something radiates Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand She said she'd like to Meet a boy who looks like Elvis. She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets The land just like she's Walking on a wire in the circus. She parks her car outside of my house And takes her clothes off, says she's Close to understanding Jesus. She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood, She has trouble acting Normal when she's nervous. Round here we're carving out our names Round here we all look the same Round here we talk just like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs Round here she's slipping through my hands Oh sleeping children better run like the wind, Out of the lightning dream Mama's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning She says "it's only in my head." She says "shh, I know it's only in my head." But the girl on the car in the parking lot says "man, you should try to take a Shot. can't you see my walls are crumblin'" Then she looks up at the building And says she's thinkin' of jumping. she says She's tired of life, she must be tired of something. Round here she's always on my mind Round here (hey man)i got lots of time Round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late. I can't see nothing, nothing round here (oh) Won't you catch me if I'm falling? Won't you catch me if I'm falling? Won't you catch me 'cause I'm falling down on you. See I'm under the gun round here Oh man I said I'm under the gun round here And I can't see nothing, nothing round here.

When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here, oh, oh She's running out the door She's running out She run, run, run, run Run Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here

We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, okay? Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two

Heading down south to the land of the pines I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel Hey, momma rock me Rock me momma like the wind and the rain Rock me momma like a south bound train Hey, momma rock me I'm running from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel Hey, momma rock me Hey, rock me momma like the wind and the rain Rock me momma like a south bound train Hey, momma rock me Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap To Johnson City, Tennessee And I gotta get a move on before the sun I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel Hey, momma rock me Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain Rock me momma like a south bound train Hey momma rock me Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel Hey, momma rock me (mama rock me, mama rock me) Rock me momma like the wind and the rain Rock me momma like a south bound train Hey, ey yeah momma rock me (you can rock me, rock me)

It's a little bit funny, this feelin' inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money, but boy, if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show Oh, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgettin', but these things I do You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world

You've got a hold on my heart And I hope you never let go cause You keep on driving me mad with your hair and that stare that you're shooting my way It's been too long since we've had a night of dancing and I just can't wait no more I can't go one more night without you Leaning in hearing the beat of my heart And I'll leave the dancing to you If you'll just leave yourself with me Baby baby baby what's on your mind Cause I'm wondering whether you'll be nice or if you'll be kind And darlin what else would you do With that new dress and those brand new shoes I lie awake missing your touch Babygirl I don’t know if you know I miss you this much All I ask is one more night of you here by my side if you promise me that you’ll agree then I’ll be satisfied I can't wait one more day So baby dear come over here and just let me say I can't go one more night without you Leaning in hearing the beat of my heart And I'll leave the dancing to you If you'll just leave yourself with me Tonight

Ya dime si quieres estar conmigo o si mejor me voy Tus besos dicen que tú sí me quieres pero tus palabras no Y al chile yo hasta moriría por ti pero dices que no No eres directa neta ya me estás cansando se concreta por favor Y en la noche que las estrellas hablen yo pienso en ti mi amor Que me hiciste, de mi cabeza no sales Y no lo digo por mamón Si me dices para ti que soy, no dudaré en hacerte tan feliz Eres tan especial para mí Dime por qué me haces sufrir Yo te olvidaré desde las Fuentes de Ortiz Soy inseguro cuando dices que me quieres porque creo que no Como bebé caigo pero sí redondito en tu trampa amor Ya dime si tú me quieres por favor Y he sufrido y me he empedado tanto por tu amor Y en la noche en que las estrellas salen Yo pienso en ti mi amor Qué me hiciste, de mi cabeza no sales Y no lo digo por mamón Si me dices para ti quién soy No durare en hacerte tan feliz, eres especial para mí Dime por qué me haces sufrir Yo te olvidaré desde las Fuentes de Ortiz
