🎤 Lyrics: Luke Combs - Fast Car

[Verse]
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, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of 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 across the border and into the city
And you and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living

See, my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is
He said his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
So 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
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still 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, I 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

[Verse]
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And 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, I 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

[Verse]
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
Take your fast car and keep on driving

[Chorus]
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
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-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

We all can't get enough of Luke Combs' phenomenal cover of Tracy Chapman's iconic 1988 song ✨
*_Question:_*_ What was one of your favorite songs growing up?_

[paulawheeldon]

One of the most beautiful and moving songs ever written. This is a beautiful cover — so wonderful the way he honors Tracy’s arrangement yet makes it his own.

[Themixfixer]

What a great cover. He treated the song with great respect and made a cover that I'm sure Tracy approves of. Amazing job. Oh and I too approve that he didn't alter the lyrics for gender. That is a sign of great respect to the writer. That is a tradition in folk music. Respect!

[wavemusic]

Fast Car is one of my favorites. Great cover!

[brittab]

A good song has the ability to hit deep emotions . A great song combines this technique with a striking melody/vocals. The longing to leave a broken home life and fresh hope resonates strong. I appreciate Luke's talent. Excellent

[jlaw]

I love Luke Combs and this is a great cover of the song! I gotta be honest, I liked the original by Tracy Chapman but I was too young to really pay much attention to the lyrics. The song is so much better when you actually know what the meaning behind it is. ❤

[patriceklovesdiamondpaint]

LOVE this song from 1988 and this version it still hits home in 2023

[zwplnr]

Luke sounds great singing Fast Car. This song suits him. I heard it on the radio, and it wasn't a country station. It's nice to hear Fast Car again, in 2023.

[alandavis]

Forgot all about this until now with Luke bringing it back to life. My grandsons really love Luke. Thus this old rock and roller must adapt.

[jennifermallare]

I have always loved Tracy Chapman version, but Luke has done this song justice, not many singers can pull off a remake song like he just did. Love it.

[MichaelNoone-gcsg]

Unbelievable song Luke you nailed it all day long

[jcm]

I've loved this song since it came out. Tracy Chapman ❤. Luke does it well. I'm impressed. I love all music.

[VermilionCandles]

This was my childhood best friend and my favorite song to sing. She passed away 8 years ago and this took me right back ❤

[Lastdon]

Nothing like reliving a Tracy Chapman classic

[drea]

This song has been one of my favorites my ENTIRE life, luke did the original well ❤

[ViragoRiver]

I LOVE that he didn't change "girl"... love it love it love it. Keeping the original lyrics intact is 🤌

[Whatthefunk]

This is an epic reconstruction of a classic. No wonder you were allowed to do this. 😊❤❤❤

[nickioswald]

Not usually a fan of covers, but dang Luke NAILED IT!!!! Pretty sure he could sing the phonebook and make it sound good.

[mrmisterman]

Definitely one of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Country music always captures the emotions

[KristaPinkston-tc]

I love your songs Luke Combs This song is my favorite and my second favorite song by you is Beautiful Crazy thank you for writing your songs because you are a good singer....
