Fast car -Tracy Chapman, with lyrics

T.CHAPMAN FAST CAR LYRICS
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We 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 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
I say 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
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And 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 big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And 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

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Etta James & Dr.John - I'd Rather Go Blind ( Blind Girl)

Etta James, I'd Rather Go Blind Lyrics
(Note: the lyrics are from a shorter version and thus do not exactly show she sings it in this video)

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around

Jah Army, Lyrics

Stidilabopa ragga muffin on the

We are soldiers in Jah army
We are soldiers in Jah army
Hear that, I say
Foundation in da Holy place

Guide my fortune and my fame
Never sell out just to attain
Loyally and I remain, And I
suggest you do the same

Foundation in da Holy place
Rasta man we na run rat race
Hail up the king of kings with

Give Jah all you thanks and praise
Guide my fortune and my fame

But Ive made my decision
I took a vow to spread Jah light
So dont loose focus to mission

from out a'di town
and take on babylon dem evil

We are soldiers in Jah army,
We are soldiers in Jah army.
