Tracy Chapman - Fast Car Edit

And finally see what it means to be living

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

But is it fast enough so you can fly away

City lights lay out before us

He live with the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

I been working at the convenience store

I got a job that pays all our bills

I got a plan to get us out of here

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

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

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

I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling that I belonged

I know things will get better

I remember we were driving, driving in your car

I said somebody's got to take care of him

I want a ticket to anywhere

I work in a market as a checkout girl

I'd always hoped for better

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

Just 'cross the border and into the city

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Maybe we'll make something

Me, myself I got nothing to prove

My mama went off and left him

See more of your friends than you do of your kids

She wanted more from life than he could give

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Thought maybe together you and me would find it

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

We gotta make a decision

We'll move out of the shelter

You and I can both get jobs

You got a fast car

You got a fast car

You got a fast car

You got a fast car

You gotta make a decision

You stay out drinking late at the bar

You'll find work and I'll get promoted
