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
