Fast Car
By Tracy Chapman
[00:20.00]You got a fast car
[00:22.00]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:25.00]Maybe we make a deal
[00:27.00]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:30.00]Anyplace is better
[00:32.00]Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:34.00]Maybe we'll make something
[00:36.00]But me myself I got nothing to prove
[00:48.00]You got a fast car
[00:50.00]And I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:53.00]I been working at the convenience store
[00:55.00]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:57.00]We won't have to drive too far
[00:59.00]Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:02.00]You and I can both get jobs
[01:04.00]And finally see what it means to be living
[01:15.00]You see my old man's got a problem
[01:18.00]He live with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:20.00]He says his body's too old for working
[01:23.00]I say his body's too young to look like his
[01:25.00]My mama went off and left him
[01:27.00]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:29.00]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:32.00]So I quit school and that's what I did
[01:43.00]You got a fast car
[01:45.00]But is it fast enough so we can fly away
[01:48.00]We gotta make a decision
[01:50.00]We leave tonight or live and die this way
[03:55.00][02:58.00][02:01.00]I remember we were driving driving in your car
[03:58.00][03:02.00][02:04.00]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[04:01.00][03:04.00][02:07.00]City lights lay out before us
[04:03.00][03:06.00][02:09.00]And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[04:05.00][03:08.00][02:11.00]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[04:10.00][03:15.00][02:15.00]And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
[02:32.00]You got a fast car
[02:34.00]And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
[02:36.00]You still ain't got a job
[02:38.00]And I work in a market as a checkout girl
[02:41.00]I know things will get better
[02:43.00]You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:46.00]We'll move out of the shelter
[02:48.00]Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
[03:29.00]You got a fast car
[03:31.00]And I got a job that pays all our bills
[03:33.00]You stay out drinking late at the bar
[03:36.00]See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[03:38.00]I'd always hoped for better
[03:40.00]Thought maybe together you and me would find it
[03:43.00]I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[03:45.00]So take your fast car and keep on driving
[04:27.00]You got a fast car
[04:29.00]But is it fast enough so you can fly away
[04:31.00]You gotta make a decision
