"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.
When we wake up close in the morning,
It's clear to me how much that we share,
And sometimes if you feel like your falling,
Be sure to know that I will be there, I will be there.
Yeah I will be there,
How much that we share,
Yeah I will be there.
There's nothing that can beat us together,
And no-one that can keep us apart,
This love that we have got is forever,
It's true when it comes straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Can't keep us apart,
Straight from the heart.
I'll be right here to catch you if you fall,
There's no need to doubt when we are together
And I knew right from the start that I could give my heart to you,
Don't you worry 'cause I'll be right by your side,
Yes I will be there (I will be there) that much that we share,
I will be there, always be there.
You know I will never deceive you,
Don't need me to show you I care,
I'll die before I ever will leave you,
Oh you know that I will always be there,
Always be there,
Oh I will be there,
Always be there,
Oh no, to show you I care, always be there.
It's clear to me how much that we share,
And sometimes if you feel like your falling,
Be sure to know that I will be there, I will be there.
Yeah I will be there,
How much that we share,
Yeah I will be there.
There's nothing that can beat us together,
And no-one that can keep us apart,
This love that we have got is forever,
It's true when it comes straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Can't keep us apart,
Straight from the heart.
I'll be right here to catch you if you fall,
There's no need to doubt when we are together
And I knew right from the start that I could give my heart to you,
Don't you worry 'cause I'll be right by your side,
Yes I will be there (I will be there) that much that we share,
I will be there, always be there.
You know I will never deceive you,
Don't need me to show you I care,
I'll die before I ever will leave you,
Oh you know that I will always be there,
Always be there,
Oh I will be there,
Always be there,
Oh no, to show you I care, always be there.
