Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

You've got a (1)________ 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 (2)______________ 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 (3)______________________ store
Managed to (4)________ (5)________ a (6)____________ bit of money
Won't (7)________ to drive too far
Just cross the (8)____________ 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 says his body's too old for working
His body's too young, to look like his
When mama (9)________ off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take (10)________ of him
So I (11)________ 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 (12)______________ or live and die this way

Say remember when we were driving, (13)______________ in your car
Speed so fast it felt (14)________ I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt (15)________ 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 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 know things will get better
You'll find (16)________ and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a (17)____________ house and live in the suburbs

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeds so fast it 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 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 (18)________ out (19)________________ late at the bar
See (20)________ of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd (21)____________ (22)__________ for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans and I ain't (23)__________ nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You've got a (24)________ car
Is it (25)________ (26)____________ so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
