Tracy Chapman - Fast Car





Lyrics


YOU GOT A FAST CAR
I WANT A TICKET TO ANYWHERE
MAYBE WE MAKE A DEAL
MAYBE TOGETHER WE CAN
GET SOMEWHERE
ANY PLACE lS 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
I GOT A PLAN TO GET US OUT
OF HERE BEEN WORKING DOWN
THE CONVENIENCE STORE
MANAGED TO SAVE JUST
A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY
WON'T HAVE TO DRIVE TOO FAR
JUST 'CROSS THE BORDER
AND INTO THE CITY
YOU AND l CAN BOTH GET JOBS
AND FINALLY SEE WHAT IT
MEANS TO BE LIVING
YOU SEE MY OLD MAN'S
GOT A PROBLEM
HE LIVES WITH THE BOTTLE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
HE SAYS HIS BODY'S TOO
OLD FOR WORKING
l SAY HIS BODY'S TOO YOUNG
TO LOOK LIKE THIS
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 l DID
YOU GOT A FAST CAR
BUT IS IT FAST ENOUGH
SO WE CAN FLY AWAY
WE GOTTA MAKE A DECISION
LEAVE TONIGHT OR LIVE
AND DIE THIS WAY
SO REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE DRIVING
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
SPEED SO FAST l FELT
LIKE l WAS DRUNK CITY LIGHTS
LAY OUT BEFORE US AND
YOUR ARM FELT NICE WRAPPED
'ROUND MY SHOULDER AND I, I
HAD A FEELING THAT I BELONGED
I, I HAD A FEELING I COULD BE
SOMEONE BE SOMEONE
BE SOMEONE
YOU GOT A FAST CAR
AND WE GO CRUISING
ENTERTAIN OURSELVES
YOU STILL AIN'T GOT A JOB
NOW I WORK IN A MARKET
AS A CHECKOUT GIRL
l 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 REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE DRIVING
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
SPEED SO FAST l FELT
LIKE l WAS DRUNK
CITY LIGHTS LAY OUT
BEFORE US AND YOUR ARM
FELT NICE WRAPPED 'ROUND MY
SHOULDER AND I, I HAD A
FEELING THAT I BELONGED
I, I HAD A FEELING I COULD
BE SOMEONE BE SOMEONE
BE SOMEONE
YOU GOT A FAST CAR
I'VE 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'VE GOT NO PLANS AND l AIN'T
GOING NOWHERE SO
TAKE YOUR FAST CAR
AND KEEP ON DRIVIN'
SO REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE DRIVING
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
SPEED SO FAST l FELT
LIKE l WAS DRUNK
CITY LIGHTS LAY OUT
BEFORE US AND YOUR
ARM FELT NICE
WRAPPED 'ROUND MY
SHOULDER AND I, I
HAD A FEELING THAT
I BELONGED. I, 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
WE GOTTA MAKE A DECISION
LEAVE TONIGHT OR LIVE
AND DIE THIS WAY
