    🎤 Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    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
    Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
    Maybe we'll make something
    Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
    [Verse 2]
    You got a fast car
    And I got a plan to get us out of here
    I've been workin' at the convenience store
    Managed to save just a little bit of money
    Won't have to drive too far
    Just across thе border and into the city
    And you and I can both get jobs
    Finally see what it mеans to be livin'
    [Verse 3]
    See, my old man's got a problem
    He live in 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
    [Pre-Chorus]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Verse 4]
    You got a fast car
    We go cruising and 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, live in the suburbs
    [Chorus]
    Said 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
    [Verse 5]
    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 your kids
    I'd always hoped for better
    Thought maybe together you and me would find it
    I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
    Take your fast car and keep on driving
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Outro]
    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

      ​@scottmeyers6296 it's not a karaoke it's a cover. Covers are meant to take old tunes and put a newer spin on them while keeping the essence of the old song. Karaoke is when they sing the song the exact way it used to be with no new tunes or accents. Plus idk why you're complaining when Luke has tons of other original songs to listen to, it's not like he's leaving you out to dry.

      This isn't sampling. Sampling is actually lifting a part of the original recording and sticking it onto a totally different song.
      This is a cover and Combs 100% makes some changes musically in his version compared to Tracy's original recording. There is far more instrumentation in Comb's version.

      She is one of the greats. Her lyrics carried so many of us. I read that Combs identified this song as one of the first songs he remembers being truly touched by, and how people of all backgrounds relate to it. So true. It meant one thing to me in my 20's. Now, almost 50, it means different things to me. It is timeless. I am so proud of him for being a young man who can feel that and choose this song as a remake. What a statement to both of these artists. Beautiful sentiment.

"Dancing in the Streets" But Today... EVERYTHING is racist to some people. We are going forward and the race hustlers are going backwards. Brilliant cover! And I'm not even a country fan. I don't think there is a person alive today over the age of 40 who doesn't know Tracy Chapman is. But the younger generation may not know that much about her. And this young country generation are now opened up to her incredible library of music. Plus, Tracy herself loves the fact that Luke Combs is doing so well with this version. She has stated that she is honored that her song is number 1 on the country charts. And she is getting a lot of money in royalties to boot. Screw you Race Hustlers! All music is for all people.

      I mean the song at it's essence is about scarcity mindset and poverty and the toll it takes, and how it encourages the decay of family units and abandonment. This chaotic cycle does discriminate, it just discriminates due to poverty- the irony here being that no matter where they take the fast car the only place they can afford is another area racked by poverty. There are ghettoized areas that are both majority white and majority black in the US, but lets face it the black areas are directly next to areas of relative white wealth with no real reason for the boundary other than race.
      So to say that harsh life doesn't discriminate is a bit of a stretch, in that context.

    This has got to be one of the realest, most hard-hitting songs I've ever heard.
    2:58 to 3:18 shows how you just can spend you whole life running from something only for all those old hurts to one day catch up with you.
    It's subtle but the shift from "I know things will get better" to "I'd always hoped for better" - that shit hurts man.
    They say if you don't address your childhood traumas, your romantic relationships will and, in my opinion, no other song has encompassed that better than this one.
