Tracy Chapman - Fast car

You got a fast car.

I want a ticket to anywhere.

Maybe we can make a deal.

Maybe together we can get somewhere.

Anyplace is better.

Starting from zero

Got nothing to lose.

Maybe we'll make something.

Me, myself, I got nothing to prove.

You got a fast car.

And I got a plan to get us out of here.

I've been working at the convenience store.

Managed to save just a little bit of money.

We won't have to drive 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.

See my old man 's got a problem.

He lives with the bottle that's the way it is.

He says his body is too old for working.

I say his body's too young to look like this.

My mama went off and left him.

She wanted more from live 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 got to make a decision.

Leave tonight or live and die this way.

So 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.

And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.

You got a fast car.

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves.

You still aint 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs.

So I remember we were driving, driving in your car.

The speed so fast, felt like I was drunk.

City lights lay out before us.

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder.

And I had a feeling that I belong.

And 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 your kids.

I'd always hoped for better.

Though maybe together you and me would find it. I got no plans,

I aint going nowhere.

So take your fast car and keep on driving.

So 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.

And 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 got to make a decision.

Leave tonight or live and die this way.
