歌詞:
[English]
You know I love to hear y'all sing along
This is one of my favorite songs of all time
It's called "Fast Car"
♪ You got a fast car ♪
♪ And I want a ticket to anywhere ♪
♪ Maybe we make a deal ♪
♪ Maybe together we can get somewhere ♪
♪ Any place is better ♪
♪ Starting from zero, got nothing to lose ♪
♪ Maybe we'll make something ♪
♪ 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 money ♪
♪ Won't have to drive too far ♪
♪ Just across the border and into the city ♪
♪ And you and I can both get jobs ♪
♪ Finally see what it means to be living ♪
♪ See, my old man's got a problem ♪
♪ He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is ♪
♪ He said his body's too old for working ♪
♪ His body's too young to look like his ♪
♪ So 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 ♪
♪ Is it fast enough so we can fly away? ♪
♪ Still gotta make a decision ♪
♪ Leave tonight or live and die this way ♪
♪ So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car ♪
♪ Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk ♪
♪ City lights lay out before us♪
♪ And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder ♪
♪ And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged ♪
♪ I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone♪
♪ You got a fast car ♪
♪ We go cruising to entertain ourselves ♪
♪ You still ain't got a job ♪
♪ So I work in the market as a checkout girl ♪
♪ I know things will get better♪
♪ You'll find work and I'll get promoted ♪
♪ And we'll move out of the shelter ♪
♪ Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs ♪
♪ So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car ♪
♪ Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk ♪
♪ City lights lay out before us♪
♪ And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder ♪
♪ And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged ♪
♪ I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone♪
♪ You got a fast car ♪
♪ 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 your 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 ♪
♪ Take your fast car and keep on driving ♪
♪ So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car ♪
♪ Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk ♪
♪ City lights lay out before us♪
♪ And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder ♪
♪ And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged ♪
♪ I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone♪
♪ You got a fast car ♪
♪ Is it fast enough so we can fly away? ♪
♪ Still gotta make a decision ♪
♪ Leave tonight or live and die this way ♪
