《Life in the Fast Lane》：一次违反交规引发的灵感
歌名的源由是有天Glenn Frey与朋友开车要去参加牌局，开车的这位朋友却在路上以120公里的时速，玩起了逆向的飙车。Glenn Frey赶紧说“Hey Man，Slow Down”，不料这位朋友却回答说“Hey Man，It’s Life in the Fast Lane”。于是，Glenn Frey很快将这段经历和体验，写成了一首歌。歌曲通过这种追求极限的刺激，引申出追求快感却一无所得的虚无主义情绪，对当时美国社会普遍的物质与精神生活的不平衡状态，进行了反省和批判。虽然手法并不激烈，但寓意同样回味无穷。
歌词：
He was a hard headed man he was brutally handsome
他是个英俊成熟的男子
And she was terminally pretty
她美到极致
She held him up and he held for ransom
他为她着迷，为她挥金如土
In the heart of the cold, cold city
这冰冷的心，冰冷的城市
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
他有着恶劣的名声，像个花花公子
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
大家都说他无情无义
They had one thing in common
他们有同一个梦想
They were good in bed
他们享受床第之欢
She said, faster, faster
她说：快，快，快
the lights are turning red
红灯渐渐亮起
Life in the fast lane
生活快车道
Surely make you lose your mind
注定迷失你自己
Life in the fast lane
生活快车道
Are you with me so far?
你还愿意跟着我么？
Eager for action hot for the game
热衷这场游戏
The calling attraction the drop of the name
令人忘记自己是谁
They knew all the right people
他们知道如何做人
They took all the right pills
他们知道该吃什么药
They threw outrageous parties
他们穿梭于疯狂的派对
They paid heavenly bills
他们疯狂的买单
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
看着镜子里的脸，爬满皱纹
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
她假装不在意，她已习惯这残酷的生活
Out every evening until it was light
日复一日
He was too tired to make it she was too tired to fight about it
他厌倦了追逐，她厌倦了争吵
