Re-Tread Lyrics
Life in the Last Lane

You don’t understand
That the race is not to the fast
You can’t stand in line
Cause you fear that you’ll always be last
There’s no such thing as circumstance
You’re the head of the game, master of the craft
& if there were people out there
Who loved you for you
That’s too bad because they’re not in your class
You want me to feel sorry for you
You think it’s the least I can do
Well here’s your red carpet walk
I rolled out for you
It’s the best I can do
Welcome!
To life in the last lane
(where the fun and the games never end)
Welcome!
To life in the last lane
(where the pavement is always your friend)
You’re not alone in your fight
But you think you’re the mirror in the frame
You think somehow it’s your right
But the crowd doesn’t worship your name
Fact of life is pretty mean
But you base it only
What you see on the screen
& if there were people out there
Who wanted it too
That don’t count cause they’re
not in the game
Well I don’t feel sorry for you
Don’t you see we’re all in the same shoes
Well here’s your red carpet walk
I rolled out for you
It’s the best I can do
Welcome!
(No such thing as faith and hope)
To life in the last lane
(where the heartache and pain never end)
Welcome!
(Wrong side of the velvet rope)
To life in the last lane
(where the pavement is always your
friend)
