Tracy Chapman wins CMA for ‘Fast Car’ 30 years after release

There’s a good chance the lines, “You got a fast car...” have strummed their way onto your car radio in the past few weeks — and not because it’s magically 1988 again. 

Tracy Chapman’s hit song has had a resurgence thanks to country star Luke Combs, whose cover went platinum in July. 

The song won the first two awards the CMA Awards on Nov. 8, 2023, out of Nashville: single of the year and song of the year.

"I’m supposed to be talking, I think," Combs, 33, said upon accepting the single of the year award. "First and foremost, I want to thank Tracy Chapman for writing one of the best songs of all time."
