Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

You've got a (1)________ car
I wanna a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe (2)________________ we can get somewhere
Any (3)__________ is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just (4)__________ the border and (5)________ the city
You and I can (6)________ 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 (7)________ his body's too old for working
His body's too young, to (8)________ like his
When mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he (9)__________ give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's (10)________ 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 live and die (11)________ way

Say remember when we were driving, (12)______________ in your car
Speed so fast it (13)________ like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And (14)________ arm felt (15)________ (16)______________ '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 a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
Now I work in the market as a checkout girl
I (17)________ things will get better
You'll (18)________ work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Say remember (19)________ we were driving, driving in (20)________ car
Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm (21)________ nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a (22)______________ I could be someone, be someone, be someone

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

You've got a (25)________ car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
