Текст (слова) песни: Tracy Chapman - Fast car

 
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
