LETRA
Fast Car
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace 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
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 '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
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
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember 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 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
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
I remember 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 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
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
I remember 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 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Significado de la letra
'Fast Car' es una impactante historia contada a través de la canción de Tracy Chapman, donde nos sumerge en la vida de una pareja que sueña con escapar de su difícil realidad. La narradora anhela un cambio en su vida, buscando alejarse de la monotonía y la limitación económica que enfrenta. Ella encuentra en su pareja la esperanza de un futuro mejor, lejos de la pobreza y la falta de oportunidades.
A lo largo de la canción, vemos cómo la relación de la pareja evoluciona junto con sus sueños de libertad y progreso. A través de la letra, se nos presenta la dualidad de emociones y desafíos que enfrentan, desde la esperanza y la determinación hasta la decepción y la resignación.
La letra nos lleva en un viaje emocional a medida que la narradora reflexiona sobre su pasado, sus deseos de superación y las realidades de su vida presente. A través de la metáfora del 'fast car', Chapman nos invita a cuestionar si nuestros medios de escape son realmente suficientes para alcanzar nuestros sueños o si necesitamos tomar decisiones más significativas para cambiar nuestro destino.
En última instancia, 'Fast Car' es una canción emotiva que nos recuerda la importancia de perseguir nuestros sueños, de luchar por una vida mejor y de tomar decisiones valientes, incluso si eso significa dejar atrás lo conocido y familiar. Nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestras propias aspiraciones, retos y la búsqueda constante de significado en nuestras vidas.
