Lyrics:
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

I listened to Tracy Chapman a lot as a kid. Mainly because my parents would play it from the car stereo on road trips and the like. I loved the sound of the vocals and backing acoustic guitar.
I understood this song to mean that she ran away somewhere. What from and where to, I didn't know. I mainly took it to mean that she was gaining independence, as all young people do. That seemed natural enough to me at the time.
Now, listening again years later, I begin to understand the full meaning of this song.
When I was young, I didn't realise that her father was an abusive drunk. I didn't realise that she ended up running, but finding herself back in the same situation anyway - this time with the roles redefined.
I didn't realise that the man she ran with, ended up being a drunk to her children in turn.
I am heartbroken and transfixed listening to this: transfixed, because of your ability to convey the meaning of this song with such tenderness and care, but heartbroken because of the meaning it implies.
Thanks Jaz for opening my eyes. :)

This is absolutely THE most beautiful cover of "Fast Car" I have ever heard. Total unique tempo and take on the song. I love me some Tracy Chapman, but Jasmine Thompson is like an angel of Heaven. Sing me to sleep, sweet Jasmine.

I really love your voice Jasmine, it´s so amazing to listen to your songs and you´re one of the less singers, who has a voice which don´t become boring.
I can listen to your songs again and again and they don´t become boring
furthermore they become better and better. You have such a unique voice I don´t know anyone who has a similar voice like you. Also I want to say that your are an insane personality
I dont know any famous person who is paying so much attention to his fans. I really think that you are a modest person and thats just awesome. I hope only the best for you in 2016 :)

Cannot erase the smile on my face. As a long time fan of Tracy Chapman, you did justice...your cover is absolutely stunning.

You have such a unique voice. I like how soft and effortless your variations between high and low volume and octaves are. You hit a chord within that brings comfort and beauty. Anyone especially Disney would be foolish not to hire you.

Jasmine you're voice is chilling its so beautiful. Not to mention how stunning you look ❤

I love how the chorus sounds so upbeat, magical, and optimistic while the more realistic verses between sound empty, hollow, and sombre. Great cover!

This song is not meant to be covered by just anyone — and I think you are one of few who did the song Justice. Just beautiful.

How can an angel come to earth to sing?

She has the kind of voice I envision people to hear singing at a funeral. So soothing...so clear. Jasmine, you are blessed beyond words, girl. This is one of my favorite songs by Tracy Chapman and you sung it beautifully.
