[Verse 1]
Not much for wearin’ out my welcome
Always been that way and then some
Lonesome half the time
'Cause I need free and I need spacious
I get bothered, I get anxious just stoppin’ at a red light
If I’m good at one thing, that’s saying goodbye

[Chorus]
I’m the reason they make fast lanes
My soul don’t roll like no slow train
I hang my old hat in a new place
But it won’t hang too long
Call me right or call me wrong
That’s just my thing
I’m the reason they make fast lanes

[Verse 2]
When I left Georgia for the third time
I was closer to that state line than I ever was to her
Yeah, I could feel her fallin’
But somewhere down the road was callin’
And my wheels started to turn
It won’t be the last time
And she ain’t the first

[Chorus]
I’m the reason they make fast lanes
My soul don’t roll like no slow train
I hang my old hat in a new place
But it won’t hang too long
Call me right or call me wrong
That’s just my thing
I’m the reason they make fast lanes

I’m the reason they make fast lanes
My soul don’t roll like no slow train
I hang my old hat in a new place
But it won’t hang too long
Call me right or call me wrong
That’s just my thing
I’m the reason they make fast lanes

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
