Ol'55 - Tom Waits
 
Lyrics | Guitar

Audio
2005-06-13


My time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly
out to my old '55
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,
Stars beginning to fade,
and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, that the feeling's getting stronger.

Now six in the morning, gave me no warning;
I had to be on my way.
Lights passing and trucks a 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.
