What it Means to be Living? Fast Car! | Tracy Chapman Lyrics and Music Video:

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'll Make Something;
 Me Myself I got Nothing to Prove!

You got a Fast Car?
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; 
Won't have to Drive too Far' 
Just 'Cross the Border and Into the City:
You and I can Both get Jobs' 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! 
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! 
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! 

So remember we were 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? 
We go Cruising, 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 Bigger House and Live in the Suburbs;

So remember we were 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 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 we can Fly Away:
We Gotta' Make a Decision ~Leave Tonight or Live and Die this Way!
