(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 suns coming up,
Im riding with lady luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing Id stayed a little longer,
Oh, lord, let me tell you
That the feelings getting stronger.
And its six in the morning,
Gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well theres trucks all a-passing me,
And the lights are all flashing,
Im on my way home from your place.
And now the suns coming up,
Im riding with lady luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing Id stayed a little longer,
Oh, lord, let me tell you
That the feelings 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 suns coming up,
Im riding with lady luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks...
