LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

(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, mm
         Life in the fast lane                                          
         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 
   
         CHORUS X 2
   
         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 know they were just dyin' to get off 
   
         CHORUS
