Tracy Chapman
Fast Car
[Verse 1: Jabe]
You've got a fast car
I want to take it 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

[Verse 2: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk]
You've got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at a convenience store
Managing to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive to far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living!

[Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe]
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
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 I once belonged
Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 3: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk]
See, my old man's got a problem
He lives with a 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
When mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, "Somebody's gotta take care of him"
So I quit school and that's what I did!

[Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe]
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
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 I once belonged
Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 5: Jabe & Michael "Grimm" Falk]
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
You see more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together, you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving!
[Chorus: Michael "Grimm" Falk & Jabe]
So I remember that we were driving, what? Driving in your car
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 I once belonged
Tonight, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Outro: Jabe]
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
