This is for the wonderful people who have entertained
us all these past few days, but especially for Mssrs.
Wheeler and Nguyen, with their views on "life in the
left lane."

__________

Life in the Left Lane
(to the tune of "Life in the Fast Lane" -- with apologies
to the Eagles)

He was a lead-footed man, he was born to go faster
She was terminally cautious
She held him up when he tried to pass her
(and the whole thing makes me nauseous)
He had a nasty reputation as a tailgate fool
They said he was ruthless, drove busses for school
They had one thing in common -- they both shared one lane
It was sure disaster, especially in the rain

Life in the left lane
Sure to make you lose your cool
Life in the left lane
Life in the left lane
Flash the lights
"Move it, fool!"
Life in the left lane

Eager for action, hot for the kill
Gettin' those headlights an inch from his grill
He knew all the right-laners, he made all the right moves
She was just a detainer, tryin' to stay in the groove
He screamed, "Faster, faster, or we're both gonna crash!"
She yelled, "State Patrol is comin', and he's gonna chew your ***!"
They went fightin' that down that freeway,
But they never could get off --
The right lane was packed, and all the drivers were ticked off
About the...

Life in the left lane
Sure to make you mad and mean
Life in the left lane
Life in the left lane
Sudden stop, what a scene
Life in the left lane
