Tomás - Fast Car

FAST CAR You've got a fast car and I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better, oh, I'm starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we make something, me, myself, I've got nothing to lose You've got a fast car, and I've got a plan to get us out of here I've 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, finally see what it means to be living You see, my old man's got a problem, he deal with the bottle that's the way it is He say his body's too old for workin', 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've got to make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way And I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk and the City lights laid out before us and my arm felt nice wrapped around your shoulder I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car, and we go cruisin' to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job and I work in the market as a checkout boy I know things will get better, oh, 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 I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us and my arm felt nice wrapped around your shoulder I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car, and I've got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bars See more of your friends than you do your kids I'd always hoped for better, I thought maybe together you and me, we'd find it Got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere, so take your fast car and keep on driving And I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights laid out before us and my arm felt nice wrapped around your shoulder I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone that I could be someone, be someone, yeah You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away You've got to make a decision, you leave tonight or live and die this way Leave tonight or live and die this way you gotta leave tonight or live and die this way... this way You leave tonight or live and die this way Music and Lyrics by Tracy Chapman I have always loved this Tracy Chapman song, decided to give this one a shot.
