Life In the Fast Lane (Live at the Forum, Inglewood, CA, 2018) Lyrics

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
Said he was ruthless, said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
And she said, "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"

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

Are you with me so far?
Yeah

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 that 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, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything, all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh

Yeah, blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen, baby, you can hear them engines ring
We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a hot damn thing"

He said, "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash"
"Now, the doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay in cash"
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around, and got lost
They didn't know, they were just dyin' to get off, and it was

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything, all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Yeah, yeah, yeah
