Fast Car
By Tracy Chapman
[00:20]You got a fast car
[00:22]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:25]Maybe we make a deal
[00:27]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:30]Anyplace is better
[00:32]Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:34]Maybe we'll make something
[00:36]But me myself I got nothing to prove
[00:48]You got a fast car
[00:50]And I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:53]I been working at the convenience store
[00:55]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:57]We won't have to drive too far
[00:59]Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:02]You and I can both get jobs
[01:04]And finally see what it means to be living
[01:15]You see my old man's got a problem
[01:18]He live with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:20]He says his body's too old for working
[01:23]I say his body's too young to look like his
[01:25]My mama went off and left him
[01:27]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:29]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:32]So I quit school and that's what I did
[01:43]You got a fast car
[01:45]But is it fast enough so we can fly away
[01:48]We gotta make a decision
[01:50]We leave tonight or live and die this way
[03:55][02:58][02:01]I remember we were driving driving in your car
[03:58][03:02][02:04]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[04:01][03:04][02:07]City lights lay out before us
[04:03][03:06][02:09]And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[04:05][03:08][02:11]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[04:10][03:15][02:15]And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
[02:32]You got a fast car
[02:34]And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
[02:36]You still ain't got a job
[02:38]And I work in a market as a checkout girl
[02:41]I know things will get better
[02:43]You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:46]We'll move out of the shelter
[02:48]Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
[03:29]You got a fast car
[03:31]And I got a job that pays all our bills
[03:33]You stay out drinking late at the bar
[03:36]See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[03:38]I'd always hoped for better
[03:40]Thought maybe together you and me would find it
[03:43]I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[03:45]So take your fast car and keep on driving
[04:27]You got a fast car
[04:29]But is it fast enough so you can fly away
[04:31]You gotta make a decision5nd
