Lyrics
there's an eight lane highway out in l.a. headed nowhere, every day is a rat race, they're fighting for first place, it's like a nightmare, it's a life of mass confusion, it's a heavy load, i'm ready to trade the fast lane for a country road, there's a new york skyline but there's no sunshine, down on broadway, watching the stocks rise keeps them paralyzed, up on park place, it's a 5th avenue elusion digging for the gold, i'm ready to trade the fast lane for a country road, i'm gonna take a turn for the better, it's been a long hard ride, this can't go on forever, i need a sunday drive, let me get behind the wheel before i lose control, and trade this fast lane for a country road, there's a desert sunset i haven't seen yet, just out of tucson, down in hot springs arkansas, you can get an overhaul, i sure could use one, i'm gonna rise above the madness then i'll be laying low, i'm ready to trade the fast lane for a country road, i'm gonna take a turn for the better, it's been a long hard ride, this can't go on forever, i need a sunday drive, and let me get behind the wheel before i lose control, and trade this fast lane for a country road, come on, get out of the fast lane, get on a country road, no more fast lanes, get me a country road, (get out of the fast lane, get on a country road, get out of the fast lane, get on a country road, get out of the fast lane)
