[Verse 1]
Saw you turning down main street
In your big black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill
With a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town
Where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust
You never pay me no mind

[Chorus]
You're living in the fast lane
I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain old calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turning down

[Verse 3]
If you ever hit a dead end street
If it's love that you're looking for
You can always turn around
And beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map?
You seem to know your way around
So when you're tired of spinning your wheels
Baby, we can go to town

[Chorus]
You're living in the fast lane
I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain old calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turning down

I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turning down

I am just a country road
That you keep turning down

[Chorus]
You're living in the fast lane
I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain old calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turning down

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
