Fast Car
Jonas Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at a 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
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 remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeding so fast, 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
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
See my old man's got a problem
He live 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
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
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
I work in a 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
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeding so fast, 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
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
Be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
The song "Fast Car" by Jonas Blue is a cover of the original 1988 song by Tracy Chapman. It tells the story of two people who want to escape their current lives and start anew. The woman in the story has a fast car, and the man wants to use it to leave his dead-end job and troubled family situation. They dream of finding work, making something of themselves and pursuing a better life together in a new city. The chorus asks if the car is fast enough to allow them to leave tonight and start fresh.
In addition to its catchy melody, "Fast Car" is significant for its themes of hope and desperation. The lyrics are relatable to many people who want to escape their current circumstances and pursue their dreams. The song has resonated with multiple generations and has been covered many times by other artists. Despite its sad undertones, "Fast Car" is ultimately an uplifting song about the human desire for change and the hope that things can get better.

This is so incredibly nostalgic. I get such good vibes from listening to it. Reminds me of being in 2016-2017, and having this playing on the radio on a sunny day. I miss those times.
