Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane lyrics

He was a hard-headed man

He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty

She held him up, and he held her for ransome 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 turnin' red."

Life in the fast lane

Surely makes you lose your mind, mm

Are you with me so far?

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, everything all the time

Life in the fast lane, uh huh

Blowin' and burnin', 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

ring.We've been up and down this highway;

haven't seen a goddam thing."

He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."

"The doctor says he's comin', but you gotta pay him in cash."

They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around

and got lost

They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off

And it was life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
