Life In The Fast Lane (2013 Remaster) Songtext
von Eagles

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

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) yeah
(Life in the fast lane) everything, all the time
(Life in the fast lane) a-ha

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 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 say he′s comin', but you gotta pay him 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) surely makes you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time
(Life in the fast lane) a-ha

(Life in the fast lane)

(Life in the fast lane)
