Lyrics
I grew up in a one red light town,
Where dreams felt big but hopes would drown.
A Grocery store and a laundromat,
beauty salon where we all sat.
Only One bar where the guys played pool
Only one place where they bought their tools
Always dreamed about the big city lights,
Wondering if my heart could take those heights.
Chorus
She's Livin' in the fast lane, wishing I could be her,
Caught between a small town and the life I prefer.
Don't know which road is better, but I feel the stir,
If I could trade my world, would I
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Verse 2
All I've ever seen was on the big screen,
A vibrant life that felt like a dream.
Would the fast lane hold the key for me?
Or is it just a glittered fantasy?
OUTRO
Yet in my heart, the fire still burns bright,
As I chase the stars that dance in the night.
Only One bar where the guys played pool
Only one place where they bought their tools
Always dreamed about the big city lights,
Wondering if my heart could take those heights.
Chorus
She's Livin in the fast lane, wishing I could be her,
Caught between a small town and the life I prefer.
Don't know which road is better, but I feel the stir,
If I could trade my world, I would choose hers
For sure
Outro
So here I stand, dreaming of the day,
Where I'll break free and find my way.
Livin'in the fast lane, let my spirit soar,
Chasing down the shadows, always wanting more.
