An Epilogue to Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car," this song is a musing on the American Dream with post-9/11 New York City as the backdrop. A white girl and a Pakistani cabdriver bond over the song "Fast Car" in a moment of human connection. She then thinks about how the events surrounding 9/11 and thereafter have affected this man’s American Dream. This is a song about racial and religious tolerance, and what we all have in common: our humanity.
