Ol' 55 Lyrics

 

Well my time went so quickly

I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five

As I pulled away slowly feeling so holy

God knows I was feeling alive

Now the sun's coming up

I'm riding with Lady Luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Stars beginning to fade

And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer

Oh Lord let me tell you that the feeling getting stronger

And it's six in the morning

Gave me no warning I had to be on my way

Well there's trucks all a-passing me and the lights all a-flashin'

I'm on my way home from your place

And now the sun's coming up

I'm riding with Lady Luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Stars beginning to fade

And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer

Oh Lord let me tell you the feeling getting stronger

And my time went so quickly

I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five

As I pulled away slowly feeling so holy

God knows I was feeling alive

And now the sun's coming up

I'm riding with Lady Luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Freeway cars and trucks

 

Freeway cars and trucks
