Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane ------------------------------------------ He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome 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, 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, hot for the game The calling attraction, the drop of the 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 Chorus: 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 Glowing and burning, blinded by thirst They didnt see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse She said, Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring. We've 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 were rushing down that freeway, messed around and got lost They didn't care they were just dying to get off and it was (Chorus) Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane
