There's a eight line 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 illusion
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

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 out of the fast lane)
Get me a country road
(Get on a country road)

(Get out of the fast lane)
(Get on a country road)
