Tracy Chapman
Fast Car
[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself have got nothing to prove

[Verse 2]
You got a fast car
And I've got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
I managed to save just a little bit of money

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to drive too far
Across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And we'll finally see what it means to be living
Yeah we'll finally see what it means to be living

[Chorus]
So I remember when we were
Driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was dumb
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder and
I had a feeling that I belonged
Yeah I had a feeling that I could be someone
I could be someone, be someone
[Verse 3]
You got a fast car
And I've got a job that pays all of our bills
I've been working at the store
And I managed to save up a little bit of money
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

[Verse 4]
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
We can leave tonight or live and die this way

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to drive too far
Across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
We can finally see what it means to be living
We can finally see what it means to be living

[Chorus]
So I remember when we were
Driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was dumb
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder and
I had a feeling that I belonged
Yeah I had a feeling that I could be someone
I could be someone, be someone
