Life In The Fast Lane Lyrics - Hell Freezes Over - The Eagles

He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome 

and she was terminally pretty 

she held him up and he held 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 

Eager for action and hot for the game 

the comming 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 evenin' 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 

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 god-damn 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 were rushing 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 make you lose your mind 

life in the fast lane 

life in the fast lane everything all the time 

life in the fast lane
