Lawrence Ingle Poet Lyric

Living In the Fast Lane

She's living in the fast lane,
like a pawn in a chess game,
She's staying on the run....chasing rainbows in the sun,
living in the fast lane,

I tried to be her sweet thing,
I tried to make her heart sing,
But love just can't keep on...being on the run,
living in the fast lane,

Yea, sometimes love can seem so strange,
and even have to refrain,
from chasing rainbows in the sun...where it's not at all so fun...
living in the fast lane,

I pray she finds a new game.....
away from that ol' fast lane,
so I can meet her in the sun....and know she's stopping from....
living in the fast lane....
abstaining from drugs and cocaine.

Virginia Muller February 22, 2009 at 10:30 AM This is wonderfully written. So true with so many young ones I have been in contact with. Great job

Vince Suzadail Jr. December 25, 2008 at 3:30 AM That's a tough battle. It can be won but it takes faith, courage and determination. Sometimes it takes losing everything you have ever loved with no place to run and no where to go. Seen it too often, working with kids. My own son's battle with alcohol cost him everything. God Knows we love him but the choice to quit has to come from him. Vince
