By the side of the tracks where the train goes by
The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh
Deep in your heart
Then you'll come a-running to me, mmm
You'll come a-running to me, yeah-yeah
Well, you watch the train go 'round the bend
Play in dust and dream that it will never end
Deep in your heart
But you'll come a-running to me, yeah
You'll come a-running to me, all right
Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Yeah-yeah, come a-running to me
Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
With your hound dog by your side
And your arms stretched out open wide
I want to keep you satisfied in the morning sun
By my side, come on, come on run, all right, hey, hey
In the country
Kicking sand up with your heels
Think to yourself how good it feels
Throw away all your walking shoes
Then you come running to me
Hey, hey, now you come running to me
I said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
Hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
Come on, come on, run (hey, come a-running to me)
Wanna run, come on, run (oh, come a-running to me)
Come on run, come on, come on, run to me (hey, come a-running to me)
You gotta rainbow if you run to me

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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.
