Fast Car (Live) by Tracy Chapman

You've got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe (1)________________ we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero we've got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself I've got nothing to prove

You've got a fast car

Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't (2)________ to drive too far
Just cross the (3)____________ and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem

He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to (4)________ 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

You've 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 when 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 arms (5)________ nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You've got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll (6)________ work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car

City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I (8)__________ be someone
Be someone, be someone

You've got a fast car
And I've got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your (9)______________ than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I've got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

Driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You've 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

And die this way
