Thats fine only it's not lol

in friendly combatance I submit this:


[b]You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to go 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[/b]

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


so far so good, she is talking about leaving.

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a 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 big house and live in the suburbs

ok now the dream is buying a house in the suburbs, still not off.

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 would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

ok this is the problem, how does she have a job that pays all their bills, wasnt she planning on leaving to find that job? if she has the job, they dont need to leave.

Shes talking as if she is in this place she was dreaming of, but according to the song, they havent gone there yet.

as the final stanza says

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

shes runs through scenes kind of whimsically, it wouldnt fly on for a writer trying to get published.

for an artist, they can write how and what they want.

But the question was is it a greatly crafted song, lyrically id have to say no, but I really like the song alot.
