Karaoké Fast Car Tracy Chapman

You've got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we 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 me myself

I've got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car

I've got a plan to get us out of here

I've been working at a convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far just cross 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 the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

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've got a fast car is it fast enough so we can fly away

We got to make a decision leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember we were driving driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder and

I I had the feeling that I belonged

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

You've got a fast car we go cruising entertain ourselves

He still ain't got a job now 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 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 arm

Felt nice wrapped around my shoulder and

I had the feeling that I belonged

And 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

He stay out drinking to late at the bar

See more of your friends that you do of your kids

Always hoped for better thought maybe together you and me would find

If you've got no plans and I ain't going nowhere

Take your fast car and keep on driving

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 arm

Felt nice wrapped around my shoulder and

I had the feeling that I belonged

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

You've got a fast car is it fast enough so we can fly away

You've got to make a decision we leave tonight or live and die this way
