    F# Bbm
    Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
    B F#
    Out to my ol' fifty-five
    F# Bbm
    As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
    B C#
    God knows I was feelin' alive.

    [Chorus]
    F# Bbm B
    And now the sun's comin' up
    F# Bbm B
    I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
    F# Bbm B
    Freeway cars and trucks
    C# F#
    Stars beginning to fade
    C# F#
    And I lead the parade
    C# Ebm
    Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
    Ab C#
    Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

    [Verse 2]
    (same as verse 1)

    Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin'


    I had to be on my way.
    Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me
    I'm headed home from your place.
    [Chorus]
    F# Bbm B
    And now the sun's comin' up
    F# Bbm B
    I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
    F# Bbm B
    Freeway cars and trucks
    C# F#
    Stars beginning to fade
    C# F#
    And I lead the parade
    C# Ebm
    Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
    Ab C#
    Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

    [Verse 3] (same as verse 1)

    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.

    [Chorus]
    F# Bbm B
    And now the sun's comin' up
    F# Bbm B
    I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
    F# Bbm B
    Freeway cars and trucks
    C# F#
    Stars beginning to fade
    C# F#
    And I lead the parade
    C# Ebm
    Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
    Ab C#
    Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
