Fast Car
Tracy Chapman / Tracy Chapman: Tracy Chapman (1988)
| You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere. | |
| Maybe we make a deal, Maybe together we can get somewhere. | |
| Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose. | |
| Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove. | |
| You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here. | |
| I 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. | |
| You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle, that's the way it is. | |
| He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his. | |
| 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 I did. | |
| You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away? | |
| We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way. | |

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

| The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk. |

| City | lights lay out before us, |
| D | F#m |
| And your arm felt nice wrapped | 'round my shoulder. |
| E | D | F#m |
| And I | had a feeling that | I belonged, |
| E | D | E |
| 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 ain't 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 big house and live in the suburbs. | |
| 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 of your kids. | |
| I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it. | |
| I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving. | |
| You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away? | |
| You gotta make a decision, You leave tonight or live and die this way. | |
