Lyrics:
Riding in the fast lane, baby
I’m not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out

Did you forget who you’re with?
You know what you signed up for
now you plead the Fifth
Hope you get happiness
I know that you don’t deserve
to be hurt like this

This wasn’t the plan
I thought I could stay
now I know that I can’t
This wasn’t the plan
but I can’t change who I am

Riding in the fast lane, baby
I’m not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out

I can’t love you like you want me to
If I let you win, then we both lose
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out

Tell your friends that I left
Say it’s all my fault ‘cause it is I guess
It’ll be for the best
When we both move on
and forget this mess

This wasn’t the plan
I thought I could stay,
now I know that I can’t
This wasn’t the plan
but I can’t change who I am

Riding in the fast lane, baby
I’m not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out

I can’t love you like you want me to
If I let you win, then we both lose
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out

I still got a wildside
