[G#] [G] [F#]
[A#m]
[B] [C#]
[F#] [B] [F#]
Well, my time went so quickly, [A#m] I went naked and strictly,
[C#] [B] out to my [C#] old fifty [F#] [B]-five.
[F#] As I pulled away slowly, [A#m]
feeling so holy,
that God [B]
knows I was feeling [C#]
alive.
Now [F#] the [A#m] sun's [C#] coming [B]
up, [C#] [F#] I'm riding [A#m] with Lady [B]
Luck,
[C#] [F#]
freeway [A#m] cars and [B] trucks, [C]
[C#] stars beginning [F#] to [B] fade,
[F#] [C#]
and I leave the [F#]
parade, [B] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#] just a wishing [D#m] I'd stay a little longer.
[G#]
Oh Lord, let me tell you [F#] that the [C#] feeling's getting [F#] stronger.
[C#] [F#] And it's six in the morning, [A#m]
gave me no warning,
[B] I had to [C#] be on [F#] my way.
Well, there's trucks all a-passing, and [A#m] the lights [C#] [F#] all a [C#]-flashing,
as [B] I'm on my way home from the [C#] parade.
[F#] [C#] And now [F#] the [A#m] sun's coming [B]
up, [C#] [F#] I'm riding [A#m] with Lady [B] Luck,
[C#] [F#]
freeway [A#m] cars and [B]
trucks, [C] [C#]
[F#] [C#] stars beginning [F#] to [B] fade,
[F#] [C] [C#]
and I leave the [F#]
[B] parade, [F#] [C] [C#]
just a wishing I'd [D#m] stay a little [G#] longer.
Oh [F#] Lord, let me tell you [C#] that the feeling's getting stronger.
As [F#] my mind went quickly, I [A#m] went naked in a splickle,
[B]
out to my [C#] old fifty [F#]
-five.
As I pulled away slowly, [A#m]
feeling so holy,
God [B]
knows I was feeling [C#]
alive.
And [F#] now the [A#m] sun's coming [B]
up, [C#] [F#]
riding [A#m] with [C#] Lady [B]
Luck,
[C#] [F#]
freeway [A#m] cars [B] and trucks, [C#] [F#]
freeway [A#m] cars [B] and trucks,
[C#] [F#]
freeway cars and [B] trucks.
