My time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly
Out to my old '55
Pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.

And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, that the feeling's getting stronger.

Lights passing and trucks a flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.

And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks.
