I was driving down the route doing 185
 Just me and my friends out for a drive
 I should have seen the trouble looming ahead
 Should have known better I was into the red
 But I never saw the gun I never saw the law
 Hiding in back of a 4 by 4 

 Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
 But some days you've got to lose
 I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
 Slow lane blues 

 They took me to the side and gave me some grief
 Said I was crazy I couldn't believe
 Good cop bad cop they played the routine
 They took away my car I tossed them the keys
 Their was nothing on the road when I gave it the gas
 I never saw the law we were having a blast 

 Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
 But some days you've got to lose
 I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
 I gotta blues 

 They said I had [bad word] a matter of time
 Driving like a fool ignoring the signs
 But I never saw the gun I never saw the law
 Hiding in the back of a 4 by 4 

 Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
 But some days you've got to lose
 I'm in the slow lane
 I was caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
 But some days you've got to lose
 I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
