Tracy Chapman – (be someone) Fast Car

You’ve got a fast car I’ve got a plan to get us out of here Been working down 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 lives 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 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. So remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast feel like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had the feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone. (Wash Away) An old man lying by the road Black is night He’s got his finger on the trigger An easy target in sight He’s got no future, no family tree He’s got a three dollar bottle And he drinks ’till he can’t see All night, all night….. A young girl waiting on a line Eight am, she’s got a six month old burden Willpower’s withering thin An unwed mother beaten by her trade Each week her welfare reminds her Of mistakes she never made Oh no….. Chorus Now what has that to say about tomorrow What has that to show for today Noah thought to build an ark Before the heavens washed it all away Away… A baby

  26. Matt from Maternity Clothes

    I was hoping that someone on the American Idol show would sing this song this year. Unfortunately another season passes with no Tracy Chapman songs.

    What is the way to get the cheapest rental car?

  28. Mihai from Oferte turistice

    I think this song is very beautiful. It’s the first time when I hear this Tracy Chapman song but the lyrics are wonderful. Thank you for included this piece in the post. A lot of feelings in this song…

  29. Car CD MP3 Player

    @Fuzzygirl. LOL. She always sings this way but hey, isn’t she beautiful? Do you know apart from her vocal skills, she also plays acoustic guitar, bouzouki, harp and even baritone guitar. In fact this song was a great hit during my college days. This is Tacy Chapman’s one of the best-known singles. Also listen to her “Telling Stories”.
