Theres a eight line highway out in l.a. headed nowhere
Every day is a rat race their fightin' for first place it's like a nightmare
It's a life of mass confusion its a heavy load
I'm ready to trade the fast lane for a country road
Theres a new york skyline
But theres no sunshine down on broadway
Watching the stocks rise
Keeps them paralized up on parkplace
Its a 5th avanue elusioin diggin' 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 driveeeeeeeee.......
Let me get behind the wheel before i lose control
And trade this fast lane for a country road
Theres a desert sunset
I haven't seen yet
Just out of tuscon
Down in hotsprings arkansa
You can get an overhaul
I sure could use one
I'm gonna ride the bus to madness
Then i'll be layin 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 driveeeeeeeee.......
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
(background singers start at the)
( same time as lead sings line above)
No more fast lanes
Get on a country road
(fade out)
Get out of the fast lane
Get on a country road
Get out of the fast lane
