Story Behind The Song
This song is about driving in your car in the left lane when someone in front of you is cruising, in that same lane at or below the speed limit and has no intentions of getting out of the way, so you have to pass them on the right. They slow up traffic and piss a lot of people off including me.

Lyrics
Fast Lane
By Ted Lehman(ASCAP) © Copyright 2012 APR MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC
Don't hold me up
don't shut me down
move over
and let me around
you're slowin' up traffic
get out of my way
move to the right
out of the passing lane
I know you can see me
why won't you move over
when you see me behind you
why do you go slower
slow cruising in the left lane
slow cruising in the fast lane
Can't you see my headlights flashin'
right lane aint made for passin'
the left lane is not for cruisin'
behind the wheel aint made for snoozin'
so get the hell outta my way
I'm tryin' to get somewhere today
