Barbara Mandrell Fast Lanes And Country Roads Lyrics

Fast Lanes And Country Roads Lyrics

There's an eight lane 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 elusion 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 Tuscon

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



And 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

  (Get out of the fast lane, get on a country road

  Get out of the fast lane, get on a country road, get out of the fast lane)
