This song reminds me of my child hood days, my dad played it on his Volkswagen beetle on my way to school & unlike the song title "fast car", my dad's car ws a slow car :)
Love this song.. I should make choreography to it

Sad song.
So deep
This is such a great song.
I was on the same road till I got sober. Life is so beautiful now.
Love the guitar...... . v o i c e unique.
Great song and recording on its own merits. It is a Bruce Springsteen inspired song sung from a female perspective.
Agree this is one of the best songs ever . Sing it often !
I love this song it's so easy to listen to and sometimes it just makes me want to cry its so emotional yet simple.
I knew then but hadn't a clue
This is my favorite song love

I saw Tracy open for Bob Dylan years ago. She was fantastic and Dylan looked terrible and sounded like Dylan.
I just found another artist I love. Rich sound and excellent voice.
This is my all time favorite artist. My favorite song is "fast car". She has a good way of interpreting her lyrics and understandin g of emotions, her audience has a real easy way of connecting with her. Music should be honest, creative, and relative; Tracy has a wonderful knowledge of these things. LOVE HER!!!!!!!
some times i rhymes slow some times i rhyme quick

This is one of my favorite songs from Tracy Chapman. She has a way with lyrics and her delivery of them. Simple and honest. It's easy to tell she feels her music.
nice song!!
One of the best songs I have always loved this song Tracy Chapman have great voice
This song is...... just strange really... but in a good way. I didnt like it at first, but her voice and the words started growing on me. The lyrics were truly honest. I am surprised by it.=)
This song is brilliant, timeless, honest, everything everyone says about it. But I don't really want it on my happy radio station...sw i t c h i n g to my moody station.

An amazing singer/songw r i t e r . . K u d d o s to you Tracy!

I love acoustic music to relax and distress from a long work day!Of course, I also need some hot flavored tea or chocolate and a couch to read a book.
she sings this song for a generation and probably for more to come..
Love this song.. Brings back good memories
One of my favorite songs from college.
Great song. I only know this and Give Me One Reason To Stay Here from Tracy Chapman. I like both tunes a lot.
Take you fast car and keep on drivin' @ss
I always thought this song was written by some white woman in the 1970s. It takes on a whole new meaning now that I know it was written by a black woman in 1988.
I know what you Lauren. When I was younger I hated it!
But as I get older I can appreciate the lyrics.
wow i haven't heard this song ever since i was a kid!!! man good ol times...... 8)
life does get better, please keep your hope, no one can ever steal that from you...
Hey, samalcomson I was 12 years old and felt the same way but now I am a grown woman with a good life, and family. Things will be fine. Don't ever give up.
I'm 12, and this song gives me hope that out there some where, there is a chance that i will be free from everything!
