Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

You've got a fast car
I wanna a (1)____________ to anywhere
Maybe we (2)________ a deal
Maybe (3)________________ we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got (4)______________ to prove

You've got a (5)________ car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to (6)________ just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can (7)________ 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 went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I (8)________ somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You've got a (9)________ car
Is it (10)________ enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave (11)______________ or live and die this way

Say remember when we (12)________ driving, driving in your car
Speed 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 (13)______________ I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You've got a a fast car
We go cruising (14)__________________ ourselves
You still ain't got a job
Now I work in the (15)____________ as a checkout girl
I know (16)____________ will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Say remember when we (17)________ driving, driving in (18)________ 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 (19)________ car
I've got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of (20)________ (21)______________ than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought (22)__________ together you and me'd (23)________ it
I got no plans and I ain't going nowhere
So take (24)________ fast car and keep on driving

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