Ol’ 55 lyrics
by Joni Mitchell
[Verse 1]
Well, my time has come quickly
I go lickety-splitly
Down to my old '55
Well, I pulled away slowly
I was feeling so holy
God knows, I was feeling alive
[Chorus]
Well, the sun's coming up
Riding with Lady Luck
Freeways, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Oh, Lord, let me tell you the feeling's getting stronger, oh
[Verse 2]
Well, it's 6 in the morning
Gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
There's trucks all a-passing
And lights all a-flashing
I'm on my way home from the place
[Chorus]
Well, the sun's coming up
Riding with Lady Luck
Freeways, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade now
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Oh, Lord, let me tell you the feeling's getting stronger
[Verse 1]
My time has come quickly
I go lickety-splitly
Down to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly
I was feeling so holy
God knows, I was feeling alive
[Chorus]
Well, the sun's coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeways, cars and trucks
Freeways, cars and trucks
Freeways, cars and trucks
