Super depressing song!

Quality, but horrible to think about.

Good to see Buckwheat had a singing career after Our Gang.

One of my favorite Tracy Chapman songs.

But Fast Car while a good song its also kind of dark and depressing. Pretty messed up lol

Not dark or depressing. Plenty of people born into poverty and we have moments dreaming of a different life, I actually find it uplifting.

Seems like you are only taking in the Chorus'. Listen to the last verse again.

Incredible song...the radio stations in my part of the world played this song like crazy when it first came out, but it's such a classic. Hard to believe it's 35 years old now.
