Right Lane

Carl Wilson

Compositor: Carl Wilson / Myrna Smith

I've been livin' in the right lane
Keepin' my speed a steady pace
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
Goin' a little slow, but staying in the race

Always believed I could get what I wanted
Even if it took a little while
Always believed I could take care of my brother
Do my thing with style

I've been livin' in the right lane
Sometimes arrive a little late
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
People tell me a shouldn't wait

There have been others travelin' the same road
Get just where they want to be
There have been time when I wanted to break my mold
Switch over to another speed

I've been livin' in the right lane
Seeing others cruise on by
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
Think I'll give the passin' lane a try
Am I the kind who would run over my brother
Just to get where I should be?
Am I the kind to be content in my splendor
After all the trouble gettin' on the freeway?

I've been livin' in the right lane
