It was 1988 and I bought Tracy Chapman's LP, "Fast Car". I lived in Atlanta and I would play it over and over again. In 1989, I had a ticket to somewhere I knew any place was better than where I was at the time I, too, was starting from ground zero and truly had nothing to lose I was going to make something of myself Because I had something to prove I had a plan to get out of there But I would have to drive far 960 miles, to be exact I'd cross the Georgia border and into another city I'd start a new job and finally see what it means to be living My car was fast enough for me to fly away I made a decision so I would not have to live & die that way My decision involved leaving someone I cared about But knowing that what we had (or what we didn't have) would not be enough to sustain me in my life...

We got together one weekend after I moved. It was never the same and we drifted apart. I wrote her a marvelous recommendation that helped her get into grad school. She married had two girls and lived in Seattle, Washington. I married and had one daughter in New York. I received a call last summer from a mutual friend who told me she committed suicide. Tragic.

I have loved this song since 1988. I was a 33 year old mom with two sons & a husband. When Tracy came out with the her song it didn’t really relate to me. It actually did, I think a lot of us wanted to go away in a Fast Car sometimes in our younger days. Luke Combs has done a great cover so a new generation could discover the song. I love the way they sang it together .

There are very few song remakes that are any good at all to those of us that have been around long enough to hear the original. THIS is a true exception!

I have been listening to the feedback on this performance with all the speculation on the artists, their gender, race, even the sexuality was commented on CNN..... What makes this song resonate so deeply now in 2024 ? Why now? The song itself, the message of yearning and hope and desperation and the realization that life is bittersweet and its so often filled with nothing but unrealized dreams. I was 20 years old in 1988..I walking back from class listening to a mixtape my girlfriend had put together . I sat down on the steps of my apartment and bawled my eyes out because i felt the desperation of trying to make a life.. make choices... to find myself in the world .. the frustration of wanting to go and be something anything anyone.... Im 55 now... and the song hits me just as hard now in 2024 as it did in 1988. This song like Rich Men North of Richmond- hits because it is devoid of the political filter , the cultural bias speaks to the human condition and the human soul... I was in into Guns and Roses, Metallica, Ozzy etc.... but later that afternoon I took what little money I had and bought her album/cassette... and listened to it because it was crafted and sung by a woman who was... this is the key word here.... AUTHENTIC.
