"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.
Someday I will find my prince
He may be far away
But I know he will come
Someday
Prince of my dreams
Far away
To call my own
Someday
Prince of my dreams
Far away
To call my own
Someday
Someday my prince will come
Someday I'll find a love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper I love you (I love you)
And steal a kiss or two (Just one kiss)
Though he may be far away
I will find my love someday
Someday we'll say and do
The things we've been longing to
And I'll know him the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Someday when my dreams come true
Somewhere waiting for me
There's someone I'm longing to see
Someone I can't help but adore
Who will thrill me for ever more?
Someday we'll say and do
The things we've been longing to
And I'll know him the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Someday when my dreams come true
Someday my prince will come (Someday my princess will come)
And I will find my love (And I will find my love)
And I'll know it the moment we meet (The moment we meet)
Prince of my dreams
Far away
To call my own
Someday
Prince of my dreams
Far away
To call my own
Someday
Prince of my dreams
Far away
To call my own
Someday
Prince of my dreams (Prince of her dreams)
Far away (Far away)
To call my own (To call your own)
Someday (Someday)
Prince of my dreams (Prince of her dreams)
Far away (Far away)
To call my own (To call your own)
Someday (My dreams will come true)
Prince of my dreams (Prince of her dreams)
Far away (Far away)
To call my own (Call your own)
Someday
