Lyrics[edit | edit source]
well my time went so quickly
i went lickety-splickly down to my old '55
as i drove 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
and 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'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
and now the sun's 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
