作词 : Frey, Henley, Walsh
He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome
And she was teminally pretty
She held him up
And he held her for ransome 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

Eager for action and bot 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 heavily 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 lse your mind
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane  uh huh
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 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
