Life In The Fast Lane
By Tony McDonald
[Verse 1]
This is the story of the boy named Jack
He wanted to try once now he's hooked on smack
He went out chasing the dragon now he can't get back
He caught a runaway train on a one-way track
[chorus]
Take it easy, gods people,don't judge too fast
The story ain't over until he breathes his last
His future may be brighter than his past
The choices ahead are just too vast
[Verse 2]
He met a young girl, we'll call her Lou
Just like old Jack, she was hooked on it too
Between the two of them, they never had a clue
Where the next bump was coming from, for you know who
[chorus]
Take it easy, gods people, don't judge too fast
The story ain't over until they breathe their last
Their future may be brighter than their past
The choices ahead are just too vast
[Verse 3]
They had to have a bump, so they robbed a store
But someone was hiding behind a side door
When the smoke cleared, they both lay on the floor
Now Jack and Lou are hooked no more
[chorus]
Take it easy, gods people, your judgment's cast
For the story is over, they have breathed their last
Their future wasn't brighter than their past
Life in the fast lane is too goddamn fast
