Tom Waits - Ol' '55 lyrics

rate me

Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly

out to my ol' fifty-five.

As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy

God knows I was feelin' alive.

And now the sun's comin' up,

I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,

freeway cars and trucks.

Stars beginning to fade

and I lead the parade

just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.

Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin',

I had to be on my way.

Now the trucks are all passin' me and the lights all flashin' -- correct

I'm headed home from your place.

And now the sun's comin' up,

I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,

freeway cars and trucks.

Stars beginning to fade

and I lead the parade

just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.

(oh) -- Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly

out to my ol' fifty-five.

As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy

God knows I was feelin' alive.

And now the sun's comin' up,

I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,

freeway cars and trucks.

Freeway cars and trucks

ridin' with Lady Luck.

Freeway cars and trucks

ridin' with Lady Luck.

Freeway cars and trucks

ridin' with Lady Luck.
