Sarah McLachlan The Freedom Sessions Album

9.Ol' 55

Lyrics:Tom Waits
Music:Tom Waits

Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive

Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger

And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Well there's trucks all a-passing and the lights are all
flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place

Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger

Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive

Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
