Fast carTracy 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 快 车崔西查普曼
你有一辆跑得很快的车
我想要一张可达任何地方的车票
也许我们可以打个商量
也许我们可以一起到某些地方
任何地方都好
一切从零开始，不会有任何损失
也许我们可以做些事情
但我无法保证什么
你有一辆跑得很快的车
我有个计划可以离开这里
我一直在一家便利商店上班
存了一点儿钱
我们不必开得太远
只要过了边界，到城里去
你我都可以找到工作
最后，体会活着的意义
你知道我老爹的毛病
他整天就是与酒瓶为伍
他说他的身体老得无法工作
我说他的体格还年轻，不该是现在这个样子
我的妈妈离家出走，离他而去
她想要的生活，他供给不起
我想总得有人来照顾他
所以我休学，就是这样
你有一辆跑得很快的车
但它快得够让我们远走高飞吗？
我们要赶快决定
今晚就走？还是这样混吃等死？
我记得我们开着车
车速飞快，让我觉得好象喝醉酒
街灯在我们面前一字排开
你的手臂环绕在我肩膀，感觉真好
让我有一种归属感
我还觉得自己可以有一番成就
你有一辆跑得很快的车
我们开着四处漫游以自娱
你还是没找到工作
我在一家超市当收银员
我知道一切会逐渐好转
你会找到工作，我会获得晋升
我们可以搬离收容所
买间大房子，住在郊区
你有一辆跑得很快的车
我有一份工作，可以付所有的帐单
你在酒吧喝酒待到很晚
见到朋友比见到孩子的时间还要多
我一直期盼会有改善
心想也许我俩可以找到方法
我没有计划要去什么地方
那么，就继续开你的车吧
你有一辆跑得很快的车
但它快得可以让你远走高飞吗？
你必须做个决定
今晚就走？还是就这样混吃等死？ |
