    LYRICS:
    You got a fast car
    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
    I got a plan to get us outta 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
    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 I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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, entertain ourselves
    You still ain't got a job
    And I work in the 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
    So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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'd 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 it felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round 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 you can fly away?
    You gotta make a decision
    Leave tonight or live and die this way

    Marnie, I'd like to say how beautifully you played this.
    You always play with such heart and never disappoint. Last night I was feeling a bit nostalgic and thought of this song; I hadn't heard it in years and playing it brought me back to a good place. Then, this morning I received the TH-cam notification of your excellent rendition.
    How wonderfully serendipitous.Thank you.❣️

    Wow Wow Wow ! Marnie, this is such a departure from what I typically hear you play. Just today I was listening to your performance of Debussy's Girl with the Flaxen hair, a piece I've been working on for the last several months and entirely inspired by your video. Then later today I stumble upon this ! I've always loved this song which seems to me, to have a rather unusual syncopation, much like Marc Cohn's Walking in Memphis. I think the syncopation alone would make this a difficult piece to learn, but I am inspired none the less. Once I've mastered Girl with the Flaxen Hair (I've only been playing three years and am self-taught) I've been considering three pieces as my next piece, Chopin's Nocturn in C Sharp Minor inspired by the movie The Pianist, Vangelis' Memory of Green from the movie Blade Runner, or Teddy Leong-She's version of the theme from Romeo and Juliette, A time for Us, which has many tremendous walk up's. I do feel like Girl with the Flaxen Hair has really stretched my abilities as it was far beyond my level when I attempted it, but I've risen to that level. Thank you soooooooooooooooooo very much Marnie for inspiring me to stick to learning this thing called piano. I started late at 60 years of age.

    Oh and one more thing . . . your Steinway B is one of the most beautiful piano's I've ever seen or heard. What a treasure you have in this piano and I'm so very happy it has someone so accomplished in their playing, so that it can shine in every note it sings ! What a match made in heaven.
