Evette Eleese

(verse)
I've driven the fast lane
Scenery blurring by
Couldn't see my destination
But sure of what I'd find

(verse)
Get rich quick schemes
Always filled my mind
For the drugs to fix my pain
From the clock punch and daily grind

(chorus)
Should I leave this 2-lane blacktop
It ain't the road for me
And the the next exit
To drive the speed that suits me

(verse)
Pulled into the slow lane
And a driving reverie
White lines pointed a horizon
Too tired to see the scenery

(verse)
Got a house with country curtains
A steady paycheck every week
Found a comfortable religion
Tried gourmet food and noon-time tea

(chorus)
Yes, I'm leaving this 2-lane blacktop
It ain't the road for me
I'm taking the next exit
And will drive the speed that suits me
