Ol' '55 Lyrics

The song Ol' '55 is performed by Tom Waits in the album named Closing Time in the year 1990 .



Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety splitly
Out to my ol' '55
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive

Now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade

And I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feelin's getting stronger

And it's six in the mornin', gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way
Well, there's trucks all a pa*sing me
And the lights all flashin'
I'm on my way home from your place

And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade

And I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feelin' gettin' stronger

And my time went so quickly, I went lickety splitly
Out to my ol' '55
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive

And now the sun's comin' up
Ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Freeway cars and trucks
Freeway cars and trucks
