         C
Well my time went so quickly
        Em
I went lickety-splitly
F                    C  G
Out to my old fifty-five

      C
As I pulled away slowly
Em
Feelin' so holy
      F                   G
God knows I was feelin' alive

Chorus:
             C     Em    F  G
And now the sun's comin' up
     C           Em   F  G
I'm ridin' with lady luck
  C       Em        F   Em Dm
Freeway, cars and trucks
Dm       G          C  Am
Stars beginning to fade
Dm     G          C  Am
And I lead the parade
Dm      G            Am
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
D                         F                 G7
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger

Six in the morning
Gave me no warning
I had to be on my way

Now the cars are all passin' me
Trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headin' home from your place

Chorus

Well my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my old fifty-five

As I pulled away slowly
Feelin so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive


             C     Em   F   G
And now the sun's comin up
     C           Em   F   G
I'm ridin' with lady luck
  C       Em         F   G
Freeway, cars and trucks
  C       Em         F  G
Freeway, cars and trucks

     C           Em   F   G
I'm ridin' with lady luck
  C       Em        F   G
Freeway, cars and trucks
     C           Em   F   G
I'm ridin' with lady luck
  C       Em        F   G
Freeway, cars and trucks
