(Tracy Chapman cover)
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we can make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
See my old man's got a problem
Lives with a bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
Body's too young for looking like his
Mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
Packed up school 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 we can die this way
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I - I got a feeling that I belonged
And I - I got a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that paid all our bills
Stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do 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
Take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I - I got a feeling that I belonged
And I - I got a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
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...
