Free Ride in the Fast Lane
Where I come from in Kentucky There was an old gray headed man The day I left he said, 'Sonny Well, I know you've got some big plans' Round here we all think you're something But out there that doesn't mean nothing There ain't no free ride in the fast lane For every ounce of pleasure there's a pound of pain You gotta love it if you play this game 'Cause there ain't no free ride in the fast lane I made my way to the city And met a long legged beauty queen I thought she'd always be with me But she played me like a slot machine Soon as I ran out of money She said you're real cute but honey There ain't no free ride in the fast lane For every ounce of pleasure there's a pound of pain You better love it if you play this game 'Cause there ain't no free ride in the fast lane Woke up in Dallas this morning with the mg flu again Another party waiting in Houston with 10,000 of our closest friends Well, I ain't slowing down and I ain't gonna sleep Man, 'cause I got a promise to keep baby, come on One thing in this life is certain You're either dead or you're hurting There ain't no free ride in the fast lane For every ounce of pleasure there's a pound of pain Hey, you better love it if you play this game 'Cause there ain't no free ride in the fast lane Jump in and hold on now, 'cause we ain't playing no games Jump in, sit down, shut up and hold on Kick them mules and let's get the hell out of here
