Lyrics

Ol' 55

[Verse 1]

Well, my time went too quickly

I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' 55

As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy

God knows I was feeling alive

[Chorus]

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

Lord, don't you know the feelings getting stronger

[Verse 2]

Six in the morning, gave me no warning

I had to be on my way

Now the cars are all passing me

Trucks are all flashing me

I'm headed home from your place

[Chorus]

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

Lord, don't you know the feelings getting stronger

[Verse 1]

Well, my time went too quickly

I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' 55

As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy

God knows I was feeling alive

[Outro]

And now the sun's coming up, yes it is

I'm riding with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Freeway cars and trucks

Riding with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Riding with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Riding with lady luck
