Fast Car By Tracy Chapman lyrics

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anything 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 a 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 omd man`s got a problem
He lives 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 then 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 got to make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember when 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
I had a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still aint got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You`ll find a job 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 drin
