Slow Lane Blues

I was driving down the route

Doing one and five

Me and my friends out for a drive

I couldn't see trouble looming ahead

I shoulda known better,

I was into the red

I never saw the gun

I never saw the law

Hiding in the back of a four by four

Caught on a photograph

Guilty of driving fast

But some days you gotta loose

I'm in the slow lane

I got the slow lane blues

Slow lane blues

He took me to the side

Gave me some grief

Said I was crazy,

I couldn't believe

Good cop, bad cop they played the routine

They took away my car,

I tossed them the keys

There was nothing on the road when i gave it the gas

I never saw the law, we were having a blast

Caught on a photograph

Guilty of driving fast

But some days you gotta loose

I'm in the slow lane

I got the slow lane blues

I got the blues

They said

I had it coming

A matter of time

Driving like a fool, ignoring the signs

But I never saw the gun

I never saw the law

Hiding in the back of a four by four

Caught on a photograph

Guilty of driving fast

But some days you gotta loose

I'm in the slow lane

I got the slow lane blues
