Lyric Ol 55

(Tom Waits)

Well my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly out to my old 55
As I drove 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 s 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 are all flashing,
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
that the feeling s getting stronger.

And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly out to my old 55
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,
freeway cars and trucks,
freeway cars and trucks...
