Ol' 55 Lyrics

(Tom Waits)

Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive

[Chorus:]
Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you 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 and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place

[Chorus]

Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive

[Chorus]
