Luke Combs - Fast Car (Official Live Video)

This is a beautiful rendition. All credit to Tracy Chapman for graciously allowing Luke to cover Fast Car and bring it to a new generation. I hope people will check out Tracy's version, too.

I was beyond tears hearing his talented rendition. I was a 37 years old cancer patient, mother of a 2 year old, when Tracy Chapman’s classic came out. It soothe my soul. I am 72 years old now and was mesmerized by seeing her and Luke perform at the Grammy 1/4/2024. It continues to soothe my soul.

Written by a black, gay, liberal woman and performed with passion by a straight white man who used to have a confederate flag sticker on his guitar to a country music audience who understand that what this song talks about is a shared American experience of hope for a better future and overcoming hardship regardless of background and politics and race. It's music like this that will help bring us together as a nation and, man, do we need it. Thank you, Tracy and Luke. (And Luke, please consider having Tracy as a surprise guest at one of your concerts so you can sing this with her. That would be awesome.

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and went to jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - Heart Of A City Boy” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️

Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs performing Fast Car at the Grammys was special. A performance that will be remembered for years to come.

The songs hits home..My wife and I were homeless living in the Walmart parking lot. Finally found a job at McDonald’s..my only meal each day was my employee meal….a hamburger, a small fry, and small pop. Couldn’t even afford bread or peanut butter. We are still scraping but things are better now..but I just wanted to tell anyone going thru that…its ok..it may not seem like it but it is.

“Somebody’s gotta take care of him so I quit school that’s what I did” breaks my heart and makes me cry so hard

That song was written with sweat and hunger. Only the ones who had lived in poverty understand the power of this song. I think Luke knows too.

35 years later and fast car is still going strong... one of the best songs ever written.

Tracy's version makes me cry. Always did. So does this one. Just a beautiful song, thank you Tracy for bringing it to the world, and Luke for honoring it, and her.

I honestly loved seeing Luke groom his beard and put on a suit for his hero, I had never heard of him until I heard his duet with Tracy and it was just wonderful. Amazing seeing someone so passionate about a song and the respect shown to his hero was awesome. Big up, Luke!

Luke, I’m not sure if you will see this, but I think you and Thomas Rhett should collaborate on this song together, your voices mixed together would make a great rendition. Props to Tracy Chapman for creating a great country song.👏🥰🥹

One night in September 1988 this girl came up in front of 100.000 people in Barcelona and sang this. The whole crowd muted, amazed. Nobody knew her, but we all got goosebumps. Springsteen and Sting came later and sang all together. Magical night and a magical song!

✨ I’m one of those old Gen-Xers who remembers the original playing on the radio. In this crazy world, this cover is especially meaningful. Apparently, I needed a good cry.

I'm not sure how many people realize how hard this song is to actually sing and nail.

Its forbidden not to play this song on a Road Trip

1989 was 10 years after my parents split up and abandoned us. I raised my younger brother. I got us both through college working 3 jobs. Tracy Chapman knew what was in my soul. These lyrics tell my story. I’ll always love Tracy for her gift. Beautiful cover by Luke. ❤❤❤

The raw emotion in this song gets to me every time. Can't get to the end without tearing up. I'm not a country fan but this guy smashed it out of the park with this cover.

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world

I am a 54-year-old white man in Idaho. Let’s all unite.
