Fast Car (cover)

Música original: Tracy ChapmanYou've got a fast carI've got a plan to get us out of hereBeen working down the convenience storeManaged to save just a little bit of moneyWe won't have to drive too far,Just cross the border and into the cityYou and I can both get jobsAnd finally see what it means to be living.You see my old man's got a problemHe lives with the bottle, that's the way it isHe says his body's too old for workingI say his body's too young to look like thisMy mama went off and left himShe wanted more from life than he could giveI said somebody's got to take care of himSo I quit school and that's what I did.So remember when we were driving, driving in your carSpeed so fast feel like I was drunkCity lights lay out before usAnd your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulderAnd I had the feeling that I belongedAnd I had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone.(Wash Away)An old man lying by the roadBlack is nightHe's got his finger on the triggerAn easy target in sightHe's got no future, no family treeHe's got a three dollar bottleAnd he drinks 'till he can't seeAll night, all night.....A young girl waiting on a lineEight a.m., she's got a six month old burdenWillpower's withering thinAn unwed mother beaten by her tradeEach week her welfare reminds herOf mistakes she never madeChorusNow what has that to say about tomorrowWhat has that to show for todayNoah thought to build an arkBefore the heavens washed it all awayAway...A baby crying through a dreamAn afterthoughtMother is seething for pleasureAfter the poison is boughtHis eyes are tainted, staggered is his breathOh God, he's addictedAddicted to deathChorus
