Giants Fan 85 Posted September 9, 2007 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. And now the sun's comin' up, yes it is, I'm ridin' with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks. Freeway cars and trucks ridin' with Lady Luck. Freeway cars and trucks ridin' with Lady Luck. Freeway cars and trucks ridin' with Lady Luck. - Tom Waits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted September 9, 2007 Dude ... Tom Waits .... AWESOME songwriter. Prolly heard Rod Stewart sing "Downtown Train" in the 80's and you remember it. It's a cover. "Old 55" is a great song. Could say Waits' biggest hit even. Besides .... "Downtown Train" .... via Rod Stewart. Original Waits version can be found on the album "Rain Dogs" ... released, like a year before the Stewart cover. "When I see you tonight ... on a downtown train." Yeah ... that's a COVER! Tom Waits song, originally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
