"Life In The Fast Lane (Live)" lyrics

"Life In The Fast Lane (Live)"

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome
Y'all
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up
And he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city

He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turning red."

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane

Eager for action
And hot for the game
The coming attraction
The drop of a name

They knew all the right people
They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
They paid heavenly bills

There were lines on the mirror
Lines on her face
She pretended not to notice
She was caught up in the race

Out every evening
Until it was light
He was too tired to make it
She was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Blowing and burning
Blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign
Took a turn for the worst

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine's ring
We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddamn thing."

He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's coming, but you gotta pay in cash."

They went rushing down that freeway
Messed around and got lost
They didn't know they were just dying to get off and it was

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

Thank you, thank you very much
Quite a thrill for us veterans tonight, uh, to be up here playing together again. I want to thank all of you guys, it's nice to be back playing with you guys. It's a lot of fun

And we hope y'all had a good time, uh, thanks for helping us get through this first one. It's all downhill from here
And, we'll leave you with a nice memory here
