Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

Intro:

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal,

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better,

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something,

But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car,

And I got a plan to get us out of here

I been working at the convenience store,

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far,

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs,

And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem,

He live with the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working,

I say his body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him,

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said somebody's got to take care of him,

So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car,

But is it fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision,

We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped

'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had feeling I could be someone,

Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car,

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job,

And I work in a market as a checkout girl

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

You got a fast car,

And I got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bar,

See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better,

Thought maybe together you and me would find it

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Bridge:

x4

You got a fast car,

But is it fast enough so you can fly away

You gotta make a decision,

You leave tonight or live and die this way
