Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

[00:20.59]You got a fast car
[00:23.03]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:25.39]Maybe we make a deal
[00:27.92]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:30.34]Anyplace is better
[00:32.78]Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:35.25]Maybe we'll make something
[00:37.67]But me myself I got nothing to prove
[00:49.97]You got a fast car
[00:52.46]I got a plan to get us out of here
[00:55.18]I been working at the convenience store
[00:57.65]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[01:00.01]We won't have to drive too far
[01:02.49]Just 'cross the border and into the city
[01:05.31]You and I can both get jobs
[01:07.36]And finally see what it means to be living
[01:19.53]You see my old man's got a problem
[01:22.06]He live with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:24.20]He says his body's too old for working
[01:26.83]I say his body's too young to look like his
[01:29.17]My mama went off and left him
[01:31.69]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:34.25]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:36.45]So I quit school, that's what I did
[01:48.70]You got a fast car
[01:51.06]But is it fast enough so we can fly away
[01:53.51]We gotta make a decision
[01:55.96]We leave tonight or live and die this way
[02:06.89]I remember when we were driving driving in your car
[02:10.56]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[02:13.83]City lights lay out before us
[02:15.94]Your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[02:18.31]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[02:23.28]And I had a feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[02:40.46]You got a fast car
[02:42.92]And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
[02:45.36]You still ain't got a job
[02:47.28]And I work in a market as a checkout girl
[02:49.79]I know things will get better
[02:52.19]You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[02:55.29]We'll move out of the shelter
[02:57.70]Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
[03:08.84]I remember when we were driving driving in your car
[03:12.23]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[03:15.45]City lights lay out before us
[03:16.81]Your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[03:19.15]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[03:24.13]I had feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[03:41.24]You got a fast car
[03:43.63]I got a job that pays all our bills
[03:46.07]]You stay out drinking late at the bar
[03:48.42]See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[03:50.82]I'd always hoped for better
[03:53.22]Thought maybe together you and me would find it
[03:55.57]But I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[03:58.10]So take your fast car and keep on driving
[04:08.97]I remember when we were driving driving in your car
[04:12.64]]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[04:15.39]City lights lay out before us
[04:17.43]Your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[04:19.69]And I had a feeling that I belonged
[04:24.37]I had feeling I could be someone' be someone' be someone
[04:41.36]You got a fast car
[04:44.13]But is it fast enough so you can fly away
[04:46.58]You gotta make a decision
[04:49.53]Leave tonight or leave and die this way
