Fast Car - Jasmine Thompson

[00:00.65]You've got a fast car
[00:03.87]I want a ticket to anywhere
[00:06.86]Maybe we can make a deal
[00:09.83]Maybe together we can get somewhere
[00:12.83]Any place is better
[00:15.74]Starting from zero got nothing to lose
[00:18.78]Maybe we'll make something
[00:21.97]Me myself, I've got nothing to prove
[00:24.58]
[00:31.02]You've got a fast car
[00:33.90]I've got a plan to get us out of here
[00:36.81]I've been working at the convenience store
[00:39.89]Managed to save just a little bit of money
[00:42.58]Won't have to drive too far
[00:45.46]Just across the border and into the city
[00:48.72]You and I can both get jobs
[00:51.73]Finally see what it means to be living
[00:55.29]
[01:00.40]See my old man's got a problem
[01:03.64]He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
[01:06.58]Says his body's too old for working
[01:09.64]His body's too young to look like his
[01:12.60]My mama went off and left him
[01:15.67]She wanted more from life than he could give
[01:18.58]I said somebody's got to take care of him
[01:21.60]So I quit school, that's what I did
[01:24.46]
[01:30.80]You've got a fast car
[01:33.44]Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
[01:36.69]We gotta make a decision
[01:39.94]Leave tonight or live and die this way
[01:42.54]
[01:43.87]So I remember when we were driving
[01:46.71]Driving in your car
[01:48.76]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[01:52.31]City lights lay out before us
[01:54.77]And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
[01:58.02]And I had
[02:00.50]Had a feeling that I belonged
[02:03.74]And I had
[02:06.49]Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
[02:12.60]
[02:19.09]You've got a fast car
[02:21.83]I've got a job that pays all our bills
[02:24.79]You stay out drinking late at the bar
[02:27.81]See more of your friends than you do of your kids
[02:30.62]I'd always hoped for better
[02:33.70]Then maybe together you and me would find it
[02:36.84]I've got no plans I ain't going nowhere
[02:39.74]So take your fast car and keep on driving
[02:42.67]
[02:47.00]So remember when we were driving
[02:49.99]Driving in your car
[02:51.60]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[02:55.05]City lights lay out before us
[02:57.68]And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders
[03:00.68]And I
[03:03.50]Had a feeling that I belonged
[03:06.71]And I
[03:09.58]Had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
[03:16.07]
[03:22.05]You've got a fast car
[03:24.52]Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
[03:27.76]You've gotta make a decision
[03:30.79]Leave tonight or live and die this way
