"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.

She's so squeezable
Please-able
Unbreakable
She's inflatable
She's an arm full of sex appeal
Can't wait till I get her home
Yeah
She's incapable
Of being difficult
Down to earth-able
Biodegradable
Shania Twain
Ain't got a dad blang thing
On my tease-able
Squeeze-able
Please-able
She's inflatable
Most folks think I'm full of baloney
I'm never lonely
Never thought I could buy someone not
Flammable
Air brain-able
Recycle-able
No I ain't full of bull
Didn't need a down payment on that pretty little plastic thing
It made my mama cry
When we ran off one night
And caught a Vegas flight
And I made her mom whine
She blew her mouth still when I gave her a ring
My flexible
Patch-able
Washable
Yeah inflatable
(Oh Dang lady you give a new definition of taking a man's breath away)
Makes me feel so proud that I'm her feller
I'd never sell her
People get your mind out of the gu-gu-gu-gutter
She's blonde-head-able
Re-head-able
Brunet-able
Interchange-able
I didn't need a down payment
On that pretty little plastic thing
She's incapable
Of being difficult
Down to earth-able
Biodegradable
She blew her mouth still when I gave her a ring
My please-able
Patchable
Washable
Bio-degradable
Air-brain-able
Squeezable
Washable
She's inflatable
That Diamond Rio song had way too many syllables
