Tracy Chapman Fast Car ( Lyrics)

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we 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 And finally see what it means to be living 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 So I quit school and that s what I did
