Where the Fast Lane Ends is the 12th country studio album by the American country music group The Oak Ridge Boys, released via MCA Records in 1987. The album features the singles "This Crazy Love" and "It Takes a Little Rain (To Make Love Grow)".

This was the group's last album to feature William Lee Golden, who left the group for a solo career, until 1997. It was also the group's first album produced by Jimmy Bowen, who replaced Ron Chancey.

People magazine's Ralph Novak and Mary Shaugnessy gave the album a negative review, calling it "listless" and saying that "It Takes a Little Rain" was the only "pleasant" song on it.[1]
