A Asus4 A
Time went so quickly,
C#m
I went lickety-splitly
D A
out to my Ol' '55.
A Asus4 A
As I pulled away slowly
C#m
feeling so holy
D E7
God knows I was feeling alive.
A C#m D D/E E7
Now the sun's coming up,
A C#m D D/E E7
I'm riding with lady luck,
A C#m D D/E E7
freeways, cars and trucks.
Bm E A
Stars beginning to fade
Bm E A
and I lead the parade
Bm E
and I wish that I could
F#m
stay a little longer,
B E E7
ooh 'cause this feeling's getting stronger.
Six in the mornin',
gave me no warnin',
had to be on my way.
Now the cars are all passin' me
trucks are all flashin' me
'n' I'm headed home from your place.
