"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.
You got a body like the devil and you smell like sex
I can tell you're trouble but I'm still obsessed
[Chorus]
Because you know you're so hot, I want to get you alone
So hot, I wanna get you stoned
So hot, I don't want to be your friend
I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again
....Yeah.....C'mon....Yeah
You're like the kiss of death, like the hand of fate
I can tell you're trouble but I still want a taste
[Chorus: x 2]
Because you're so hot I want to get you alone
I want to get you stoned
I don't want to be your friend
I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again
See you again
See you again
I can tell you're trouble but I'm still obsessed
[Chorus]
Because you know you're so hot, I want to get you alone
So hot, I wanna get you stoned
So hot, I don't want to be your friend
I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again
....Yeah.....C'mon....Yeah
You're like the kiss of death, like the hand of fate
I can tell you're trouble but I still want a taste
[Chorus: x 2]
Because you're so hot I want to get you alone
I want to get you stoned
I don't want to be your friend
I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again
See you again
See you again

What's more amazing is that I posted this WAY after I heard it for the first time. NO ONE put it up before me.
I feel accomplished. =P
But yeah, Kid Rock and Strip Club are synonimous in a lot of his music. This being a prime example. As they said on X107.5 and I agree with, it's not hard to picture a girl pole dancing or something of that sort with this music in background.
