[F#]
[A#m] [B] [C#]
[F#] [B] [F#] Well, my time went so quickly I [A#m] went niggity [C#]-splitly
[B] Out to [C#] my old [F#] [B] [F#] 55er As I pulled away slowly
[A#m] Feeling so holy, God [B]
knows I was feeling [C#] alive
Now [F#] the [A#m] sun's coming [B] up [C#] I'm [F#]
riding [A#m] with [B] Lady Luck
[C#] [F#]
[A#m] Freeway cars and [B] trucks [C#]
Stars beginning [F#] to [B] [F#] fade
[C#]
And I leave the [F#] [B] parade [F#] [C#] Just [F#] [C#] a wishing [D#m] I'd stay a little longer
[G#]
Oh Lord, let me tell [F#] you that the feeling's getting [C#] stronger
[F#]
[C#] [F#] Had sex in the morning [A#m]
Gave me no warning
[B] I had [C#] to be on [F#] my way
Well, there's trucks all a-passing And [A#m] the [C#] lights all a-flashing
[B] I'm on my way home from your [C#]
[F#] [C#] place
And [F#] now the [A#m] sun's coming [B]
up [C#] I'm [F#] riding [A#m] with Lady [B] Luck
[C#] [F#] Freeway [A#m] cars [B] and trucks [C] [C#] Stars beginning [F#] to [B] fade
