"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.
Lloviendo esta
Y a través de la lluvia
Hay un triste adiós
Y un amor termina
Mis lagrimas no miras
La lluvia las confunde
Y aunque yo estoy llorando
Por mi no te preocupes
Te vas amor
Adiós vida mía
Te llevas contigo
Toda el alma mía
Llenaste de recuerdos
A la ciudad entera
Para que de tristeza
Poco a poco yo muera
Lloviendo esta y por eso es que no ves mis lagrimas
Las mismas que te seguirán adonde vayas
Y aunque yo se que nunca mas tu volverás
Te esperare
Te esperare aunque no vuelvas mas
Y aunque yo se que nunca mas tu volverás
Te esperare
Te esperare aunque no vuelvas mas
Y a través de la lluvia
Hay un triste adiós
Y un amor termina
Mis lagrimas no miras
La lluvia las confunde
Y aunque yo estoy llorando
Por mi no te preocupes
Te vas amor
Adiós vida mía
Te llevas contigo
Toda el alma mía
Llenaste de recuerdos
A la ciudad entera
Para que de tristeza
Poco a poco yo muera
Lloviendo esta y por eso es que no ves mis lagrimas
Las mismas que te seguirán adonde vayas
Y aunque yo se que nunca mas tu volverás
Te esperare
Te esperare aunque no vuelvas mas
Y aunque yo se que nunca mas tu volverás
Te esperare
Te esperare aunque no vuelvas mas
