        F#                           Bbm
Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
B                   F#
Out to my ol' fifty-five
        F#               Bbm
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
    B                     C#
God knows I was feelin' alive.

Chorus :

            F#     Bbm   B
And now the sun's comin' up
    F#           Bbm    B
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
F#       Bbm     B
Freeway cars and trucks
C#                F#
Stars beginning to fade
C#                F#
And I lead the parade
C#               Ebm
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Ab                       C#
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Verse:

Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way.
Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place.

Chorus :

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
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Verse:

Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' fifty-five
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.

Chorus

You can always upgrade song with some fingerpick and
simple riffs, then it's sounds better.
