[Intro] 
C F G C F G
[Verse] 
CG Saw you turnin' down main street
FC in your big, black fancy car
FC You were dressed up fit to kill,
FCG with a pretty girl on your arm
CG You spun around and you headed up town
FC Where the neon lights all shine
FC Left me choking in a cloud of dust
GC You never pay me no mind
 [Chorus] 
C You're livin' in the fast lane
FC I guess I'm just too slow
FC I never wore silk or fancy furs
G Just plain ole calico
C I'll never be a fast lane lover
FC And they're the only kind you take up town
FC I am just a country road
GC That you keep turnin' down
 [Instrumental] 
C F G
[Verse] 
CG If you ever hit a dead end street
FC If it's love that you're looking for
FC You can always turn around
FCG And beat a path right to my door
CG Do I have to draw you a map
FC You seem to know your way around
FC So when you're tired of spinnin' your wheels
GC Baby, we can go to town
 [Chorus] 
C You're livin' in the fast lane
FC I guess I'm just too slow
FC I never wore silk or fancy furs
G Just plain ole calico
C I'll never be a fast lane lover
FC And they're the only kind you take up town
FC I am just a country road
GC
