Fast carTracy Chapman
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
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at the convenience1 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 means2 to be living
You 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
I say 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 quit3 school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped4 around my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising5 to entertain6 ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout7 girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
快车崔西查普曼
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
我想要一张可达任何地方的车票
或许大家可以打个商量
或许大家可以一块到某些地方
任何地方都好
所有从零开始，不会有任何损失
或许大家可以做些事情
但我没办法保证什么
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
我有个计划可以离开这里
我一直在一家便利商店上班
存了一点儿钱
大家不必开得太远
只须过了边界，到城里去
你我都可以找到工作
最后，领会活着的意义
你了解我老爹的问题
他整天就是与酒瓶为伍
他说他的身体老得没办法工作
我说他的体格还年轻，不该是目前这个样子
我的母亲离家出走，离他而去
她想要的生活，他供给不起
我想总得有人来照顾他
所以我休学，就是如此
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
但它快得够让大家远走高飞吗？
大家要赶快决定
今晚就走？还是如此混吃等死？
我记得大家开着车
行车速度飞快，让我感觉好象喝醉酒
街灯在大家面前一字排开
你的手臂环绕在我肩膀，感觉真好
让我有一种归属感
我还感觉自己可以有一番收获
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
大家开着四处漫游以自娱
你还是没找到工作
我在一家超市当收银员
我了解所有会渐渐好转
你会找到工作，我会获得晋升
大家可以搬离收留所
买间大房屋，住在郊区
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
我有一份工作，可以付所有些帐单
你在夜店喝酒待到非常晚
见到朋友比见到孩子的时间还要多
我一直期盼会有改变
心想或许我们两个可以找到办法
我没计划要去什么地方
那样，就继续开你的车吧
你有一辆跑得非常快的车
但它快得可以叫你远走高飞吗？
你需要做个决定
今晚就走？还是就如此混吃等死？
