Lyrics

[Intro]
Gb Bbm
B Db7 Gb Gbsus4 Gb
                  Well,
   Gb
my time went so quickly

[Verse 1]
       Bbm             B            Db7      Gb  Gbsus4 Gb
I went lickety-splitly out to my ol'   fifty five
     Gb                  Bbm
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
         B                   Db7
God knows I was feeling alive

[Chorus]
        Gb    Bbm      B Db7
Now the sun's coming up
    Gb          Bbm      B Db7
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Gb      Bbm            B
Freeway cars and trucks
Db7                       Gb Gbsus4 Gb
   Stars beginning to fade
Db7                     Gb Gbsus4 Gb
   And I lead the parade
Db7                         Ebm
   Just a wishing I'd stayed   a little longer
Ab
  Oh Lord,
                             Db7
let me tell you that the feeling getting stronger

[Verse 2]
         Gb
And it's six in the morning
Bbm
Gave me no warning,
B          Db7      Gb Gbsus4 Gb
I had to be   on my way
              Gb
Well, there's trucks all a passing me,
        Bbm
and the lights all a flashin'
    B                        Db7
I'm on my way home from your place

[Chorus]
        Gb    Bbm      B Db7
Now the sun's coming up
    Gb          Bbm      B Db7
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Gb      Bbm            B
Freeway cars and trucks
Db7                       Gb Gbsus4 Gb
   Stars beginning to fade
Db7                     Gb Gbsus4 Gb
   And I lead the parade
Db7                         Ebm
   Just a wishing I'd stayed   a little longer
Ab
  Oh Lord,
                             Db7
let me tell you that the feeling getting stronger

[Verse 3]
         Gb
Well, my time went so quickly
       Bbm             B            Db7      Gb  Gbsus4 Gb
I went lickety-splitly out to my ol'   fifty five
     Gb                  Bbm
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
         B                   Db7
God knows I was feeling alive

[Chorus]

And now the sun's coming up
    Gb          Bbm      B Db7
