"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.
its earl mister early bird gets them girls with curvy curves
skate mental truck smack a faggot in his shirley temple
your rhyme's rentals give em back to they owners
at the end of the bar
i spit with the permanence
learn i'm a curb stoppin person like third strike, vertic drop in jaw droppin verses
this bigger lips in person nigger spits and burns so earn this shit
furnish the flow until my pockets green, kermit's dick
the miss piggy's with a string in they ass
i control them like yo eyes when i'm takin a glass
so if you thinkin bout this then stop thinkin it fast
cuz my wolve's ten deep and they knuckles is brass
tell yo boyfriend that's a bat and this a migraine
and don't ask why my jeans splattered with these white stains

he make em bow down til they mofuckin neck hurt
tell yo boyfriend that's a bat and this a migraine
and don't ask why my jeans splattered with these white stains
where you goin watchu doin tonight
stop runnin, just wanna know what you doin, come back
mr deerskin moccasins is on the fuckin stalk again
followin and stalkin all them largemont soccer chicks
choppin limbs, gnawin legs through they fuckin stockins and its
grandfather sweatshirt clockin all them cardigans
product of popped rubbers and pops that did not love us
so when i leave home keep my heart in the top cupboard
so i will not stutter when i'm shoutin fuck you son
wolf gang bout it we aint waitin til the moon come
ooh son, the moonshine got me feelin loose
as the poo's of a whore who's used to abuse
my screws pretty loose mind fucked like the hair dos
