Fast car is a song about coming full circle. Mom leaves dad because he's a drunk and she wants more to life. Daughter quits school to take care of dad. Daughter sees she getting stuck in a cycle,meets a man full of promises;and gets excited to runaway from said cycle. Daughter commits to the man and keeps hoping. Daughter finally realizes too late that,her husband fell in the cycle;became a drunk like her dad,and she became her mom. She got rid of him,but she's still stuck in the trap;and will die this way. Then it starts all over again with their kids...full circle=generational.

[@jons.105]

I remember when this song first came out, everyone was stunned at her honesty and grace.

[@barbjustbarb]

The part where you thought she was giving up, now she was working but he was just going out drinking and spending more time with his friends than his kids…I think she was giving him an ultimatum. At first they both had to make a decision to leave tonight or live and die this way; now he has to make the same decision for himself, because she is carrying all the weight. (Just as she had with her father at the beginning.) At least that’s how I hear it.

[@briansmith48]

That's how I see it also. 👍

[@roberttaylor5997]

She's not giving up, she's throwing him out.

[@gerardquinn6637]

...the only way to go.

[@hongfang2508]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written but it's damn serious. I've listened to it many times and I still shed a tear about this beautifully told story of being trapped in a downward spiral.

[@hongfang2508]

She finally left home with someone who held out the promise of something better. In the end, it wasn't better. Hence the downward spiral. Did I say this was the greatest song ever written (one of them)?

[@stevewebster973]

That album came out of nowhere and landed in the heart

[@AP-gb3eh]

Her first album was perfect! She busked in Cambridge MA and was mesmerizing. She’s one of the best American singer songwriters

[@elysehfm8797]

I had a friend who knew her from the streets.

[@chrisf.7980]

There are rare times when you get the combination of a unique voice with achingly beautiful melody & lyrics creating absolute perfection. This is one of those times. This got serious radio & video play on MTV when it was released & it always made me stop to listen. Stunning!

[@CA5124]

Remember hearing this first in 88 .It Just blew people away ! Tracy Chapman vocals so deep and a song of Hope in a desperate situation .loved it then and still do 💜⚡💯 Give me one reason is another good one !

[@joncarter9041]

She has unique and brilliant sound. True artist. This is surely her 'Masterpiece'.

[@saraheart2804]

I love this song. What a wonderful voice Tracy has.

[@knightngail1]

Love her, love this song!!! ❣️❣️

[@robinmeltzer9024]

It’s such a timeless, evocative piece of music. When it came out in 1988 I was only 11 but I remember thinking “I’ve never heard anything like this before” and I still think the same thing today! Wonderful work of art.

[@tracyvolschenk7059]

Tracy is a star geez. Love the words, love her voice. Thanks Sue. 💜💜 I think trying to get out and make a better life for herself. You can!!!

[@trismaccarran9950]

I've always loved her voice & the stripped down acoustic accompaniment on this one. To reach down deep requires the divesting of herd mentality, though in her case I'd wager she never subscribed to it anyway. Wonderful request, one I'd have made myself, and equally insightful reaction 👌

[@trismaccarran9950]

Check out her duet on Give Me One Reason with Eric Clapton

[@RustumK]

Broken dreams. The person she loved and hoped and dreamed with turns out to be a wastrel. Here's the verse: 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 would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving...

[@dodgingcars]

This was played a lot on MTV when I was a teen (and I think at that point it had already been out for a few years), but surprisingly seemed to disappear off the radio (even ones that play older songs).

[@homermtz]

tracy chapman - give me one reason

[@andidreyes5323]

Her, Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday are the best with turning a phrase into a thing. Their vocals are singular. You'll always recognize their voices.

[@duncansolloway2497]

i work in a hotel kitchen and this is my go to song when things get deep-ironically of course

[@maine420grow8]

This was super popular when it came came out. Great song.

[@dianedarby442]

You'll need to check out "Give Me One Reason" . . .another of her many, beautifully raw and real songs. . . enjoy!

[@snapdragon8888]

She gave up on the relationship because they were growing in different directions. She had goals and a job and a drive to make their lives better, and her partner had a fast car.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Such a beautiful and true song

[@maryhanrahan]

Love Tracey Chapman - another good song is 'Revolution'

[@michaelwiggan7437]

The whole album was great ..Love Tracy Chapman!!!

[@stevedotwood]

always loved ths. Singer songwriter with a very unique voice. And that acoustic guitar! Check out: "Talking 'bout A Revolution" by her

[@spindletopcenter]

Damn did she just give up? No, she's the grown-up, and she wins. No matter how awful it is.

[@TheDivayenta]

You’re gonna love “ Give Me One Reason” - bluesy and fabulous- just like the beautiful Miss Tracy.

[@kianpa1]

❤️

[@briandunn6157]

I love her !

[@ydoesgooglesuck1960]

You the boss T

[@elysehfm8797]

I don't know how I missed this, but it's one of my favorites. Where's Sue???

[@rambowbizz]

o mountains of things, across the lines are worthy of reaction.

[@cayleyturner3556]

💗

[@rumseyh]

I don't think that she "gave up." In a sad case of reality... she grew up and matured, in terms of her responsibilities. There's a saying that goes (mostly said by women)... "I can do bad by myself." So if he's not "kicking in" with his share, to help pay the bills and take care of the kids... then he needs to take his fast car and get "to stepping!" She, like a responsible adult now... realized that once you have kids, they become the A#1 priority. That is not to say, however, that all dreams and aspirations have to be given up, once you have children. Great reaction!

[@aaronb4493]

👌🏻

[@thisfacebelievesyou8862]

❤️❤️

[@thehillbillychasidchronicles07]

Next should be Nice & Smooth's "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow"

[@trismaccarran9950]

He's reacted to that; check it out...

[@alanlantz8663]

Check her out at the Grammy's with Luke Combs

[@carolinegoss856]

She had hopes and dreams of escaping her sad life but ended up in the same old rut.

[@chrisvickers7928]

Her character had a lazy alcoholic father and she ended up with a lazy alcoholic husband who she is finally strong enough to throw out at the end.

[@johnbroadley878]

When rap drowns out another voice.!! Woman eh.
