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

Bom final de semana
Ofereço a tod os este lindo lindo recital
Could you please play the song for sienna someday?
I hope you do wedding version of “ Biblical”
Y’all never disappoint!!
Awesome!
If I was your neighbors I would be sitting outside all day and asking you to keep your windows open all the time to hear your amazing playing.
Exactly how and why we bought our first home and a wonderful friendship with that pianist/neighbor
Been listening to this song since I was a kid with a double sided cassette. Never thought I'd seen this ring on my YT notifications 🥺💛 TY for this beautiful memory.
Beautiful, in every aspect, audio and visual. Thank you so much.
I'd close my eyes and dance in my room.❤
Oh Marnie!! Out of the blue comes one of my old favs!!! I’ll be humming this all afternoon as I garden. Perfection as always; thank you ❤
Played with such grace, a wonderful rendition!
Fast cars, wild love. Back then I would had everything to make it happen.
I love that you covered an older song. Please more!
Another work of art. Both you and your husband are a pleasure to listen to. Greetings fron Northern Italy.
Her timing is naturally so perfect on the keys
Bro the best duo ever.will never stop listening
I remember when Tracy Chapman's 1988 version of "Fast Car" was so popular. I think I have her LP somewhere among my collection. I listen to your version almost daily. Love it and so glad another generation is hearing this wonderful melody!
That was beautiful 👏👏the great Tracy Chapman would approve, superb, thank you 👌✌️❤️
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.❣️
Marnie Laird playing a Tracy Chapman classic. Oh that was fabulous! This one's on repeat. Hope to hear more piano solo's from you Marnie. ❤
Such a beautiful song to cover and played to perfection❤
Wonderful passionate playing. Lovely resonant tone on your baby grand x. Thankyou x
The talent is real here
This duo together is wonderful, but I love this solo because it really showcases her talent as a pianist.
Thank You for starting my day off in the most perfect way imaginable! Aye man I Love Y'all and Be Blessed!
Браво! Хотелось бы услышать эту композицию, исполненную ещё и дуэтом. Уверен, что будет не менее виртуозно!
This song is one of the most to me. I can remember my youth time.
I love this song. Beautiful version!
Beautiful! ❤

This is beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for that version!!! You gave that song even greater depth with your interpretation on the piano, and made it even more powerful emotionally!!!
An all time favourite of mine (and my wifes) such a wonderful surprise and a wonderful rendition. Thanks so much for this. Am sure Tracey Chapman will approve too!
Wonderful! ❤
Beautifully done!! Nice set too, thank you.

Very nice arrangement, and very nice sound of my favorite piano brand Steinway .
Simply fantastic, once more.
You've truly captured the essence of the piece.
OMG!!!!! You are so talented. That was perfection!!!! Thank you!

Beautiful 🤩.
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.
very inspiring.
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.
You to are amazing love your music very much, thank you very much I appreciate your videos 👍🙏❤️
Amazing skills! One of the best songs I've ever heard.
Excellent! Congratulations!
