(Composição: Tracy Chapman) You've got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me and myself, I got nothing to prove 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 to 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 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 this 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 But is it fast enough, so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So I remember when 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 arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You've 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 So I remember when 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 arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You've got a fast car And I've 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 I remember when 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 arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged And I, I, had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone You've got a fast car But is it fast enough, so you can fly away? We've gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
