Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

[00:20.10] You got a fast car

[00:22.62] I want a ticket to anywhere

[00:24.90] Maybe we make a deal

[00:27.19] Maybe together we can get somewhere

[00:29.45] Any place is better

[00:31.96] Starting from zero got nothing to lose

[00:34.22] Maybe we'll make something

[00:36.48] Me myself I got nothing to prove

[00:48.05] You got a fast car

[00:50.33] I got a plan to get us out of here

[00:52.62] I been working at the convenience store

[00:55.12] Managed to save just a little bit of money

[00:57.38] Won't have to drive too far

[00:59.40] Just 'cross the border and into the city

[01:01.91] You and I can both get jobs

[01:04.18] And finally see what it means to be living

[01:15.49] See my old man's got a problem

[01:18.27] He live with the bottle that's the way it is

[01:20.28] He says his body's too old for working

[01:22.55] His body's too young to look like his

[01:24.83] My mama went off and left him

[01:27.36] She wanted more from life than he could give

[01:29.37] I said somebody's got to take care of him

[01:31.62] So I quit school and that's what I did

[01:43.44] You got a fast car

[01:45.70] Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

[01:47.97] We gotta make a decision

[01:50.24] Leave tonight or live and die this way

[02:00.54] So remember when we were driving driving in your car

[02:04.06] Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

[02:06.58] City lights lay out before us

[02:08.35] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

[02:10.90] And I had a feeling that I belonged

[02:15.71] I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[02:31.79] You got a fast car

[02:34.07] We go cruising, entertain ourselves

[02:36.33] You still ain't got a job

[02:38.58] And I work in a market as a checkout girl

[02:40.85] I know things will get better

[02:43.38] You'll find work and I'll get promoted

[02:45.64] We'll move out of the shelter

[02:47.90] Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

[02:58.22] So remember when we were driving driving in your car

[03:01.77] Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

[03:08.56] And I had a feeling that I belonged

[03:13.11] I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[03:29.22] You got a fast car

[03:31.48] I got a job that pays all our bills

[03:33.74] You stay out drinking late at the bar

[03:36.01] See more of your friends than you do of your kids

[03:38.29] I'd always hoped for better

[03:40.57] Thought maybe together you and me would find it

[03:43.08] I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

[03:45.12] So take your fast car and keep on driving
