"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this years Cannabis Cup finals
Some of the best buds from all over the planet displayed here today
Bud smokers, let's get ready to bubble!
With this year's entry, the King's Blend,

the KOTTONMOUTH KINGS!!!
Kings blend we out smoke them
Kream of the Krop, creme de la creme
Kings blend us versus them
Cannabis Cup, no doubt, we win
King's blend taster's choice
I know youre real high when you hear my voice
(real high when you hear my voice)
You wanna smoke wit us you better bring an ounce
Cuz we get down wit a southern bounce
P-Town laid the found where i move the pounds
Now i'm comin and runnin your city unannounced
So don't get clowned when we come around
We so down to earth that we underground
I'm puffin on the green while your smokin shit brown
Cuffin to the team compound lock down
I'm aside my krown throwin strikes for tha mound
Keep it tight wound like two bloodhounds
Our games so profound we make the haters frown
Got your girl beggin me to be gagged and bound
Make the world spin round so turn it loud
That danced out, thumped out, moves the crowd
Started in 96 with the O.C. sound
Now we callin SoCal
Now we world renowned
(Chorus)
Now I'm Johnny Richter that's the King D-Loc
Between both thugs blowin gangs of smoke
I guarantee you can't outsmoke me
We can do it live on cable TV
Wit King's blend dope you choke before you spoke
We toke, took all your hope and you still can't cope
Wit the bubble berry blue youre through get your krew
Tie ya shoe, get a clue, you belong in a zoo
Yep, swingin from a rope eatin cantaloupe
Or walk in a boat like a frog and croak
Don't get the wrong view, youre long past due
We get the oohs and ahhs while yall get the boos
You wonder how I know cuz I put it to a vote
We the greatest smokers that you quote
Quote for quote, lemme clear my throat
Been puffin King's blend bong load, a la mode
The neutron bomb the sticky green
I'm higher than a kite when I hit the scene
Stoners Reekin Havoc ask Kevin Zing
But he'll only reply if it means ching-ching
(Chorus)
D double dash L long O C I'm from O.C.
Eyes closed can't see when the smoke hits me
Start ten hits each and i'm hashin keys so i can make ends meat
To defeat the weak I'm at top of my league
I freeze OGs leave me stunned & deceived
I'm freakin this beat while I'm stoned in the street
While ya down on ya knees, beggin oh please
Chillin in a room hotboxed to the ceilin
Billowin the crop cuz we got top billin
Feelin high as fuck so the buds fulfillin
Dealin & healin never stealin, revealin
Now my nug buy me E sacks I be killin
Ran outta paper started usin ???
Never got a cold but i always be illin
Spillin brew wit a view from a ruthless villain
High as a kite got a real funny feelin
King's blend dope prolly worth bout a million
Thousand watt lights, miracle gro
Hydro rock those fans gotta blow
Sittin low pro' on the fog soaked dome
?? to the party, high to the bone
Three months later we's all gettin stoned
Fillin up Southern Cali toker zone
Seizin clones, pounds a zones
Cannabis Cup we bringin it home
To the Golden State where it belongs
Kottonmouth King click bringin it home yall
(Chorus 2x)
