This song doesn't need much introduction; it's one of the best known guitar Intros around (Joe Walsh plays lead on the song). So I'll just go with a Don Henley quote about how he personally related to the song's subject matter.
"I could hardly listen to ["Life In the Fast Lane"] when we were recording it because I was getting high a lot at the time, and the song made me ill. We were trying to paint a picture that cocaine wasn't that great. It turns on you. It messed up my back muscles, it messed up my nerves, it messed up my stomach, and made me paranoid."
-Don Henley, quoted in To The Limit: The Untold Story Of The Eagles by Marc Eliot.
