Well my time has come quickly
I go lickety-splitly
down to my ol' 55
well I pulled away slowly
I was feelin' so holy
God knows, I was feelin' alive

Well the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
freeways, cars, and trucks
stars beginning to fade
and I lead the parade
just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
oh Lord, let me tell you
the feelin's gettin' stronger

Well, it's six in the mornin'
gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way
These trucks all a passin'
their lights all a flashin'
I'm on my way home from the place

Well the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
freeways, cars, and trucks
stars beginning to fade
and I lead the parade
just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, let me tell you
the feelin's gettin' stronger

The time has come quickly
I go lickety-splitly,
down to my ol' fifty-five
as I pulled away slowly
I was feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive

Well, the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
freeways, cars and trucks
freeways, cars and trucks
freeways, cars and trucks
