Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (Cover by Jasmine Thompson)

Love your rendition of Fast Car. It's so distinct from all the other covers. The best cover I've heard. Amazing...

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
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 lived with the bottle, that's the way it is
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 could 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 laid 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, 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
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'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, 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 could fly away?
You still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight, or live and die this way

The kind of voice to heal the broken...the kind of voice to sing an anthem. So much power and emotion in every note.

Lovely cover!

If you listen to this at 1.25 speed it's a different experience. close to the original

Angelic. God bless.❤

nice! it's a cover but you made it sound like a different version. very hard to do and you nailed it! you got a great team behind you.

This song is not meant to be covered by just anyone — and I think you are one of few who did the song Justice. Just beautiful.

what a stunning voice!

Who's cutting onions up in here?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not only is her voice hauntingly beautiful but she is incredibly beautiful.
