Tracy Chapman - Fast Car (Official Music Video)

[00:21.80] You got a fast car

[00:23.60] I want a ticket to anywhere

[00:26.35] Maybe we make a deal

[00:28.39] Maybe together we can get somewhere

[00:31.27] Anyplace is better

[00:33.35] Starting from zero got nothing to lose

[00:36.10] Maybe we'll make something

[00:38.34] Me, myself I got nothing to prove

[00:50.05] You got a fast car

[00:51.99] I got a plan to get us out of here

[00:54.55] I been working at the convenience store

[00:57.08] Managed to save just a little bit of money

[00:59.04] Won't have to drive too far

[01:01.29] Just 'cross the border and into the city

[01:03.78] You and I can both get jobs

[01:16.31] And finally see what it means to be living

[01:17.27] You see my old man's got a problem

[01:19.76] He live with the bottle that's the way it is

[01:22.01] He says his body's too old for working

[01:24.36] His body's too young to look like his

[01:26.77] My mama went off and left him

[01:29.30] She wanted more from life than he could give

[01:31.34] I said somebody's got to take care of him

[01:33.52] So I quit school and that's what I did

[01:45.27] You got a fast car

[01:47.34] Is it fast enough so we can fly away

[01:49.81] We gotta make a decision

[01:51.97] Leave tonight or live and die this way

[02:03.32] So remember we were driving, driving in your car

[02:05.25] Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

[02:08.28] City lights lay out before us

[02:10.59] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

[02:12.87] I had a feeling that I belonged

[02:17.38] I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[02:33.72] You got a fast car

[02:35.54] We go cruising to entertain ourselves

[02:38.03] You still ain't got a job

[02:40.31] I work in a market as a checkout girl

[02:43.20] I know things will get better

[02:45.04] You'll find work and I'll get promoted

[02:47.75] We'll move out of the shelter

[02:49.64] Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

[03:00.86] I remember we were driving, driving in your car

[03:03.32] Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

[03:05.84] City lights lay out before us

[03:08.07] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

[03:10.31] I had a feeling that I belonged

[03:15.26] I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[03:31.05] You got a fast car

[03:33.03] I got a job that pays all our bills

[03:35.30] You stay out drinking late at the bar

[03:38.03] See more of your friends than you do of your kids

[03:39.51] I'd always hoped for better

[03:41.77] Thought maybe together you and me would find it

[03:45.06] I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

[03:46.77] So take your fast car and keep on driving

[03:58.06] I remember we were driving, driving in your car

[04:00.79] Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

[04:03.00] City lights lay out before us

[04:05.34] And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

[04:07.46] I had a feeling that I belonged

[04:11.86] I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[04:28.11] You got a fast car

[04:30.33] But is it fast enough so you can fly away

[04:32.72] You gotta make a decision

[04:34.82] Leave tonight or live and die this way
