I've been livin' in the right lane Keepin' my speed a steady pace I've been tryin' to do the best thing Goin' a little slow, but staying in the race Always believed I could get what I wanted Even if it took a little while Always believed I could take care of my brother Do my thing with style I've been livin' in the right lane Sometimes arrive a little late I've been tryin' to do the best thing People tell me a shouldn't wait There have been others travelin' the same road Get just where they want to be There have been time when I wanted to break my mold Switch over to another speed I've been livin' in the right lane Seeing others cruise on by I've been tryin' to do the best thing Think I'll give the passin' lane a try Am I the kind who would run over my brother Just to get where I should be? Am I the kind to be content in my splendor After all the trouble gettin' on the freeway? I've been livin' in the right lane
