Well, my time went so quick-ly 
5   6    6  6  6   6   5 4
I went lick-e-ty-split-ly 
-6  -6 -6  -6  -6  6   6
out to my ol’ fif-ty-five 
5  6   6    6  6    6   6 
As I pulled a-way slow-ly, 
-7   -7  -7 7  -7
Feel-in' so ho-ly, 
-7    7   7  -6   7  -6  6  -8
God knows I was feel-in' a-live 

6    7   -8   8    -8 -8  7
And now the sun's com-in' up 
6    8   8   7   -8 -8   7
I'm rid-in' with La-dy Luck 
8     8   -8   -8    7
Free-way cars and trucks 
-8     8  -9  9    9 8-87
Stars be-gin-ning to fade, 
-8  8  -9   9   9 8-87
and I lead the pa-rade 
-8   8  -9   9   9   -10   9  9   9   9   87
Just a wish-in' I'd stayed a lit-tle long-er 
8      -8    7   -87
Lord, don't you know 
7    -10  9    9   8     9   -10
the feel-in's get-tin' strong-er 

Six in the morning, 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 

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 

Well, my time went to quickly 
I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five 
As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy, 
God knows I was feelin' alive 
And now the sun's comin' up, yes it is 
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck 
Freeway cars and trucks 
Freeway cars and trucks, 
Ridin' with Lady Luck 
Freeway cars and trucks, 
Ridin' with Lady Luck 
Freeway cars and trucks 
Ridin' with Lady Luck...
