Life in the Fast Lane

I was hit blind-sided, never did it occur

I could be set aflame once more

The instant you opened the door

You invited me to go ahead, come along

For a ride in your car, where I did belong

Finding the fire in me, you did that night

When you hit the gas, sped out of sight

With me by your side, holding my hand

Leaving me independent, my side, you stand

Not taking from me the one thing I have to offer, to give

But supporting my every movement, free finally, I live

Ready to help at any moment, just say the word

A lady to be respected, said was what I deserved

You'd excite me, take me on that midnight ride

Reminding this cat, her lioness ambition, pride

Never closing your eyes to me, you hear me

Feel me, drive me, excite me, don't you see

Taking life as fast as you can

Taking every single breath in

Anything and everything, in an instant can flash by

Which turn do you take, in an instant, you decide

I wasn't looking, I had finally said

You slipped in, I was unprepared

Leaving your eyes on the road ahead

Hand in hand, together we sped.

This is living, if that is what living is really for

If for nothing else, thank you for opening the door
