Tracy Chapman - Fast Car Lyrics
You 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
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
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
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
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
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
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
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 I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
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 I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
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
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
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 I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

This song was written by Aliens, so strong ❤️❤️❤️❤️
10 years ago, my cousin's brother, Rob, was killed by a drunk driver. After that incident, I became severely depressed due to complicated grief. I still can't get over the death of my cousin's brother 💔 😔
30 years ago I put this on at my dad's house.
My stepmother said, "I bet she's crying all the way to the bank".
Talk about crossing the lines...

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 across 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
See 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
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the 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
See 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
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills

It hasn't been thirty days since I got my brand new car. Each one of my cars I named. This one I got now is called Serenity because the whole experience was peaceful, unexpected and calm. And my salesman was super cute and friendly😉. #cheers20'

2020 and I'm here again still in my fast car
This song has been uplifting me since the early 90s
Haunting. Yes and sad song but also that comforting effect
I had no idea this was a black woman singing this.
Esto es música carajo!!!!
2020 - my 8 and 10 year olds ask to hear this song...
This song is about finding hope in cycles of abuse, while trying to break those cycles. She left her abusive family, with her new love in his fast car, full of hope for the future, as did her mother before her. The future arrives and it's the same as the past. Her husband and children's father is also an absentee alcoholic, one day her kids will drive away in their own fast cars and try to break free for real this time.

Somebody with a fast car come pick me up!! Tired of this loony bin called earth x
I uploaded this song in 2016 and after that my music focus went another way. I started listening to world music and anthems etc. My
fascination for this kind of music grew and i wanted to do something with it. That's why in december 2016 i made a channel uploading historical music and anthems. That channel was deleted and i have been using this one since the 5th of july 2019. I don't really upload to Rock Music Holland anymore. I have tried a few times but everything gets striked instantly. Anyway i tought this channel was going nowhere but right as i started my other channel Rock music Holland was absolutely booming. I want to thank all of you people that helped me acomplish this amazing subscriber and viewer count. I might occasionally upload again to Rock Music Holland but im not sure what and when.
I thank you for this. I visit your channel periodically and every time I feel the need to hear this song I come here. This song transcends time, as another commenter said.
You may have luck posting covers and live performances.
@Stroons Silly ❤️
Nice work dude from ur german neighboor🙏
