THE EAGLES Life In The Fast Lane Lyrics

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome
And she was terminally vain
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

[Spoken]
Are you with me so far?

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

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
(Ah - Hah!)

Glowing 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 engine ring
We've up and down this highway
Haven't seen a g______ 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 went rushing down that freeway
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care
They were just dying to get off
And it was:

Life in the fast lane
(Surely make you lose your mind)
Life in the fast lane
(Ah - Hah!)
Life in the fast lane
(Everything, all the time)
Life in the fast lane.
(Ah - Hah!)

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
