He was a hard-headed man He was brutal and handsome, y'all 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 cruel They had one thing in common, they were good in bed She said, faster, faster, the lights are turning red Life in the fast lane, surely they can lose your mind Life in the fast lane Eager for action and hot for the game The coming attraction, the drop of a knee They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills There were lines on that mirror, lines on her face She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in a 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 they can lose your mind Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Growing and burning, blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse She said, listen baby, you can hear the engines range We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing He said, call the doctor, think I'm gonna crash When the doctor says he's coming, you gotta pay it back They were 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 they can 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 Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Thank you. Thank you very much. Quite a thrill for us veterans tonight to be up here playing together again. I want to thank all you guys. It's nice to be back playing with you guys. It's a lot of fun. And we hope you all have had a good time. Thanks for helping us get through this verse, and it's all downhill from here. And I will leave you with a nice memory here.
