Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

You've got a fast car
I wanna 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 (1)________ something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove

You've got a (2)________ car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a (3)____________ 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
Live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He (4)________ his body's too old for working
His body's too young, to look (5)________ his
When (6)________ went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take (7)________ of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or (8)________ and die this way

Say remember when we were driving, driving in (9)________ car
Speed so fast it (10)________ like I was drunk
City (11)____________ lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a (12)______________ that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You've got a a (13)________ car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
Now I (14)________ in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll (15)________ out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeds so (16)________ it (17)________ (18)________ I was drunk
City (19)____________ lay out (20)____________ us
And your arm felt (21)________ wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You've got a fast car
I've got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See (22)________ of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd (23)____________ hoped for better
Thought (24)__________ together you and me'd find it
I got no (25)__________ and I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You've got a (26)________ car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
