You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal,Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of mon
ey
We 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
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like h
is
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 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
[D]I remember we were [A]driving driving in your car
[F#m]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[Esus]City lights lay out before us
[D]And your arm felt nice wrapped[F#m]'round my shoulder
[E]And I [D]had a feeling that [F#m]I belonged
[E]And I [D]had feeling I [E]could be someone, be someone, be someone
You 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 find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of yo
ur kids
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving
You 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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TRACY CHAPMAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
