Fast Car

Fast Car - Gaia

Written by：Tracy Chapman

You've got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make someting

Me myself I've got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car

I've got a plan to get us outta here

I've been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far

Just across the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

Finally see what it means to be living

See my old man's got a problem

He lives with a bottle that's the way it is

Says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My momma went off and left him

She wanted more to life than he could give

Said somebody's gotta take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did

You've got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

We've gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and

I I had a feeling that I belonged

And I I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone

You got a fast car

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

I work in a market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You'll find a work ad I'll get promoted

We'll move out of the shelter

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

So I remember when we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and

I I had a feeling that I belonged

And I I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone

You've got a fast car

I've got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bars

See more your friends than you do your kids

I always hoped for better

That 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

So remember when we were driving

Driving in your car

Speed so fast felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and

I I had a feeling that I belonged

And I I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone

You've got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you can fly away

You've gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
