Fast Car

Trình bày: Luke Combs​

Tác phẩm Fast Car được sáng tác bởi Tracy Chapman và đã đem đến cho nữ ca sĩ – nhạc sĩ này 3 đề cử giải Grammy 1989: Bản thu âm của năm, Màn biểu diễn pop nữ hay nhất năm, và Bản thu âm của năm. Bài hát đã được cover lại rất nhiều nhưng phải đến Luke Combs, ta mới thực sự thấy được cái hồn mà Tracy vẫn luôn ấp ủ. Bài ca là câu chuyện của một người phụ nữ lao động nghèo đang cố gắng thoát khỏi cái đói, cái nghèo, vùng vẫy mạnh mẽ mà cũng rất tuyệt vọng.

Fast Car nằm trong album thứ 4 – Gettin' Old của Luke Combs và được chính thức công bố ngày 24 tháng 3 năm 2023. Chất giọng ấm nồng, nội lực và đầy ấn tượng này của chàng nghệ sĩ đã làm sống lại hit nhạc năm xưa và lại một lần nữa đưa nó lên bảng xếp hạng Billboard với vị trí rất đẹp.

Hãy cùng mình lắng nghe và thưởng thức ca khúc này nhé!

Lời bài hát:

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

You've 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

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

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

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

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

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
