Dm CI got a plan to get us out of here:

Dm CManaged to save just a little bit of money.
A#maj7 FWon't have to drive too far
Dm CJust 'cross the border and into the city,
A#maj7 FYou and I can both get jobs

A#maj7 F Dm
A#maj7 FYou see, my old man's got a problem:
Dm CHe live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
A#maj7 FHe says his body's too old for working,
Dm CHis body's too young to look like his.
A#maj7 F Dm CMy mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
A#maj7 FI said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
Dm CSo I quit school and that's what I did.
A#maj7 F Dm

Dm A# Dm A# So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
Dm A#The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Dm A#City lights lay out before us
Dm A#And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
A# Dm CAnd I had a feeling that I belonged
A# Dm C Dm A# DmAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

Dm CAnd we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
A#maj7 Fyou still ain't got a job
Dm CAnd I work in a market as a checkout girl.

Dm CYou'll find work and I'll get promoted,
A#maj7 FWe'll move out of the shelter
Dm CBuy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

A#maj7 FI got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
Dm Cso take your fast car and keep on driving.
