Fast car　　Tracy Chapman

Fast car　　Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
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
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've been working at the convenience store
Managed 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

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 his
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

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The 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 had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I 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 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

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

跑得很快的車　　崔西查普曼

你有一輛跑得很快的車
我想要一張可達任何地方的車票
也許我們可以打個商量
也許我們可以一起到某些地方
任何地方都好
一切從零開始，不會有任何損失
也許我們可以做些事情
但我無法保證什麼

你有一輛跑得飛快的車
我有個計劃可以離開這裡
我一直在一家便利商店上班
存了一點兒錢
我們不必開得太遠
只要過了邊界到城裡去
你我都可以找到工作
最後，體會活著的意義

你知道我老爹的毛病
他整天就是與酒瓶為伍
他說他的身體老得無法工作
我說他的體格還年輕，不該是現在這副模樣
我的媽媽離家出走，離他而去
她想要的生活，他供給不起
我想總得有人來照顧他
所以我休學，就是這樣

你有一輛跑得很快的車
但它快得夠讓我們遠走高飛嗎？
我們要趕快決定
今晚就走？還是這樣混吃等死？

我記得我們開著車
車速飛快，讓我覺得好像喝醉酒
街燈在我們面前一字排開
你的手臂環繞在我肩膀，感覺真好
讓我有一種歸屬感
我還覺得自己可以有一番成就

你有一輛跑得飛快的車
我們開著四處漫遊以自娛
你還是沒找到工作
我在一家超市當收銀員
我知道一切會逐漸好轉
你會找到工作，我會獲得晉升
我們可以搬離收容所
買間大房子，住在郊區

你有一輛跑得很快的車
我有一份工作，可以付所有的帳單
你在酒吧喝酒待到很晚
見到朋友比見到孩子的時間還要多
我一直期盼會有改善
心想也許我倆可以找到方法
我沒有計劃要去什麼地方
那麼，就繼續開你的車吧

你有一輛跑得飛快的車
但它快得可以讓你遠走高飛嗎？
你必須做個決定
今晚就走？還是就這樣混吃等死？
