Tracy Chapman -

Qui peut rester insensible à une telle artiste ?

Pas moi

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 you got nothing to lose
May be we'll make something but me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store, manage to save just a little bit of money
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
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 his
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give
I sais 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
Chorus:
I remember we were driving, driving in your car, the speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, and
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 felling that 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 now I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things we'll 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
Chorus...
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 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 so take your fast car and keep on driving
Chorus...
You got a fast car but is it fast enough so you can fly away
you leave tonight or live and die this way
Live and die this way
Live and die this way
Live and die this way
