Follow me down All the pathways where the broken remnants lie This October sky Is getting redder by the minute, and I I told you I'd try, but I don't know why 'Cause we know it's a foolish waste of time And over and over again you cry And I get caught in your web of lies Said I'm driving in the fast lane Watching cars pass me by Don't know why, I, like to drive 85 There's a cop on my left side Got the devil on my right I thought these were supposed to be the best days of my life Seems like trouble's always brewing When the leaves fall to the ground I leave this town, and never look behind When the trumpet sound There is no other way that I could go The sweet Ohio river flows away My day is covered in the melody So why not sing with me? Said I'm driving in the fast lane Watching cars pass me by Don't know why, I, like to drive 85 There's a cop on my left side Got the devil on my right Thought these were supposed to be the best days of my life I don't know why, I Thought these were supposed to be the best days of my life When the cool wind's blowing Justify my ways 'Cause in this haze The better days have passed me by The better days have passed me by Some say, "come fly with me" Escaping the fate of destruction Escaping the misery But I know, oh, oh The temporary sanity is fading quickly And in this falling city I said I need you with me Now I'm sitting in the backseat Watching cars pass me by Don't know why, I, like to drive 85 There's a cop on my left side Got the devil on my right I thought these were supposed to be the best days of my life Said I'm driving in the fast lane Watching cars pass me by Don't know why, I, like to drive 85 There's a cop on my left side Got the devil on my right I thought these were supposed to be the best days of my life
