| | | Artist: | Tracy Chapman |
| | Album: | Various songs / Unsorted | | Track: | The fast car | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 a
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
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
