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 no plans I ain't going nowhere

I got a plan to get us out of here

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

He says his body's too old for working

We go cruising to entertain ourselves

So remember we were driving, driving in your car

City lights lay out before us

Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

We gotta make a decision

I remember we were driving, driving in your car

You got a fast car

She wanted more from life than he could give

You got a fast car

So I quit school and that's what I did

Is it fast enough so we can fly away

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
