Tracey Chapman - Fast Car
[00:23.58] You got a fast car
[00:00.00] I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:00.00] Maybe we make a deal
[00:00.00] Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:00.00] Any place is better
[00:00.00] Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:00.00] Maybe we'll make something
[00:00.00] Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
[00:00.00] You got a fast car
[00:00.00] I got a plan to get us outta here
[00:00.00] I been working at the convenience store
[00:00.00] Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:00.00] Won't have to drive too far
[00:00.00] Just 'cross the border and into the city
[00:00.00] You and I can both get jobs
[00:00.00] And finally see what it means to be living
[00:00.00] See, my old man's got a problem
[00:00.00] He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
[00:00.00] He says his body's too old for working
[00:00.00] His body's too young to look like his
[00:00.00] My mama went off and left him
[00:00.00] She wanted more from life than he could give
[00:00.00] I said somebody's got to take care of him
[00:00.00] So I quit school and that's what I did
[00:00.00] You got a fast car
[00:00.00] Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
[00:00.00] We gotta make a decision
[00:00.00] Leave tonight or live and die this way
[00:00.00] So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
[00:00.00] Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
[00:00.00] City lights lay out before us
[00:00.00] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[00:00.00] And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
[00:00.00] I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
[00:00.00] You got a fast car
[00:00.00] We go cruising, entertain ourselves
[00:00.00] You still ain't got a job
[00:00.00] And I work in the market as a checkout girl
[00:00.00] I know things will get better
[00:00.00] You'll find work and I'll get promoted
[00:00.00] We'll move out of the shelter
[00:00.00] Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
[00:00.00] So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
[00:00.00] Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
[00:00.00] City lights lay out before us
[00:00.00] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
[00:00.00] And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
[00:00.00] I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
[00:00.00] You got a fast car
[00:00.00] I got a job that pays all our bills
[00:00.00] You stay out drinking late at the bar
[00:00.00] See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[00:00.00] I'd always hoped for better
[00:00.00] Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
[00:00.00] I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
[00:00.00] Take your fast car and keep on driving
[00:00.00] So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
[00:00.00] Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
[00:00.00] City lights lay out before us
