Ol'55
Well my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly 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...
