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.
