這是Chapman的歌裡，我最喜歡的一首。

你得到一輛快車，而我得到一張去任何地方的票
也許我們可以做個交易，讓我們一起去某個地方

任何地方都比這裡好，從零開始不會怕輸掉什麼
也許我們可做出些事情，但我可沒什麼可以證明

你得到一輛快車，而我計劃著讓我們能遠離這裡
我在便利商店工作夠久，也存夠了一小筆的現金
我們將不需要開得太遠，只要越過邊界進入城市
然後看看什麼叫做生活

你了解我老爸有個問題，他長久以來活在瓶子裡
他說他已老到不能工作，我說他太早糟蹋他身體
我老媽早就逃開遠離他，她要的生活比他給的多
我說總得要有人照顧他，所以我退了學變現在樣

你得到一輛快車，但它是否快到讓我們遠走高飛
我們必須決定，今晚離開還是如此生活到死為止

我記得你開著快車，速度快得像讓人醉
城市燈光橫躺在前，而你手臂緊抱我肩
而我感覺歸屬於你，而我感覺可以變成另一個人、另一個人、另一個人

你得到一輛快車，而我們狂駛來娛樂自己
你依然沒有工作，而我得到市場當收銀員
我知道事情可能變更好，你將找到工作而我升遷
我們將會搬離這間狗窩，然後在郊區買間大房子
你得到一輛快車，而我找到工作來付我們的帳單
你每晚呆在酒吧喝到醉，陪朋友的時間比孩子多
而我將永遠以為會變好，我沒有計畫也不知去哪
就這樣開著你快車一直前進

你得到一輛快車，但它是否快到讓你能遠走高飛
你必須做決定，今晚離開還是如此生活到死為止

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
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 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 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a 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
