Lyrics
Well, my time went so quickly
Reflecting on the quick passage of time
I went lickety-splickly
Describing a fast and smooth departure
Out to my old '55
Heading out in his old '55 car
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
Leaving slowly with a sense of reverence or sanctity
God knows, I was feeling alive
Feeling intensely alive and connected to a higher power
Now the sun's coming up
Welcoming the sunrise and embracing good fortune
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Metaphorically riding with luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Observing the bustling freeway with various vehicles
Stars beginning to fade
Noticing the stars fading as dawn approaches
And I lead the parade
Taking a leading role in the unfolding events
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Expressing a desire to have stayed longer
Oh, Lord, lemme tell you that the feeling's getting stronger
Feeling a growing and powerful emotion
And at six in the morning, gave me no warning
Unexpectedly having to leave at 6 in the morning
I had to be on my way
Abruptly departing without prior notice
Well there's trucks all a-passing and and the lights all a-flashing
Noting the presence of trucks and flashing lights
I'm on my way home from your place
Heading home after leaving someone's place
And now the sun's coming up
Welcoming another sunrise
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Continuing to ride with luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Observing the freeway scene with cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
Noting the fading stars again
And I lead the parade
Leading the parade of life's events
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Expressing a desire to have stayed even longer
Oh, Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
Reiterating the intensifying feeling
And my time went so quickly
Reflecting again on the quick passage of time
I went lickety-splickly
Describing a fast and smooth departure once more
Out to my old '55
Returning to the old '55 car
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
Leaving slowly again, feeling a sense of reverence
God knows, I was feeling alive
Reiterating the intense feeling of being alive
And now the sun's coming up
Experiencing another sunrise and riding with luck
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Continuing the journey with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Observing the freeway with cars and trucks once more
Freeway cars and trucks
Repetition emphasizing the busy freeway scene
Freeway cars and trucks
Repetition emphasizing the presence of cars and trucks
