It was a 55, what was it?
It was a 55 [F#]
canny.
[A#m] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
Well my time went so quick
I [A#m] went lickety split
[A#m] [B] Out to [C#] my old 65
[C#]
As I [F#] pulled away slowly
[A#m] Feeling so lonely
God [B] knows I was [C#] feeling alive
And now the sun's [A#m] coming [G#] up
[F#] And I'm riding with that [G#] love
[F#] Freeway
[A#m] crossing [B] [C#] trucks
[C] [C#] Stars beginning to fade
[F#] [C#] As I lead the [F#] parade
[C#] Just a wishing [D#m] I'd stay a little longer
[G#] Oh don't you know the feeling getting stronger
[F#] [C#]
Well it was six in the morning
[A#m] Gave me no warning
[B] I had to [F#] be on my way
[C#]
Now [F#] this truck's all a-passing me
[A#m] It's all a-flashing
[B] I'm on my way home [C#] from your place
And now [F#] the [A#m] sun's coming [F#] up
[C#]
And I'm riding [A#m] with that [F#] love
Freeway [A#m]
crossing [F#] trucks
[C#] Stars beginning to fade
As I lead [F#] the parade
Just
[C#] a wishing that I'd [D#m] stay a little longer
[G#] Oh don't you know [F#] the feeling getting stronger
[G#] [C#]
Well [F#] my time went so quick
I went [A#m] lickety split
[B] Out to [C#] my old [F#] 55
As I pulled away slowly
[A#m] Feeling so lonely
[F#] God knows I was feeling [C#] alive
And [F#] now the sun's [A#m] coming [G#] up
