Lyrics
Well my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly, down to my old '55,
As I rode away slowly, feeling so holy
God knows, I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
And freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
It's six in the morning
Gave me no warning
I headed home from your place
Cars are all passing me,
Trucks are all flashing me,
I headed home from your place
And now the sun is coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
And freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
And now the sun is coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
And yes I am
And freeway cars and trucks
And freeway cars and trucks
I'm riding with Lady Luck. |
