Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

I been working at the convenience store

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Me, myself I got nothing to prove

I said somebody's got to take care of him

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Just 'cross the border and into the city

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

And finally see what it means to be living

I work in a market as a checkout girl

I got a plan to get us out of here

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

He says his body's too old for working

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

City lights lay out before us

I remember we were driving, driving in your car

We gotta make a decision

Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

She wanted more from life than he could give

You got a fast car

So I quit school and that's what I did

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

You got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away
