lyrics

I used to really want to be a big star on tv
well that did not work out obviously
I've made up my mind I'm not gonna even try
if I'm not racing then you can't say you beat me

I'd just as soon stay in the slow lane
50 in a 65
gonna stay in the slow lane
here I can survive
gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane
and enjoy my time

these days by 3 I'm feeling
so much lethargy I just want to
stay at home and watch tv
I see no silver lining
in winning second place
so I withdraw my name
in order to save face

I'd just as soon stay in the slow lane
50 in a 65
gonna stay in the slow lane
here I can survive
gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane
and enjoy my time

Angels shall catch you
you won't strike your foot against a stone, no
Angels shall catch you
you won't strike your foot against a stone, no

I don't care to state my views
there are too many sides
unproven manuscripts
and blind, blind guides
I have no opinion
my own personal decree
is that everyone in the world must agree
that no one knows for sure
just like me, just like me, just like me, just like me

in the slow lane
50 in a 65
gonna stay in the slow lane
it's enough to survive
gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane
and enjoy my time
