Chapman Tracy Fast Car Lyrics

Fast Car Lyrics

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 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
