1. 개요
미국의 포크 록/블루스 록 싱어송라이터 트레이시 채프먼의 싱글이며 그녀의 데뷔 앨범 Tracy Chapman의 첫 싱글로 1988년 5월에 발매되었다.여자 싱어송라이터이자 흑인 락커로서 특이하면서도 독보적인 위치에 있는 트레이시 채프먼이니만큼 이 노래는 현대에 이르러서는 그 시대의 클래식으로 칭송받는데, 특히 그가 읊조리는 가사의 의미는 흑인 여성이 처한 환경을 담담하게 묘사한다.

3. 가사
| [Verse 1] 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 Me, myself, I got nothing to prove [Verse 2] You got a fast car I got a plan to get us outta 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 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living [Verse 3] See, my old man's got a problem He lives with a 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 said, "Somebody's gotta take care of him" So I quit school, and that's what I did [Refrain] You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way [Chorus] So I remember when we were 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-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Verse 4] You got a fast car We go cruising, 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 bigger house and live in the suburbs [Chorus] So I remember when we were 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-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [Verse 5] You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinkin' 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'd find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving [Chorus] So I remember when we were 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 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 [Refrain] You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way |
