Here's "Ol '55" from the Album "Closing Time" from 1973. (The Eagles did a
cover of this song)
Ol'55 (Tom Waits)
--------------------
Time went so quickly,
I went lickety splitly
out to my Ol'55
As I pulled away slowly
feeling so holy
god knows I was feeling alive
Now the suns comming up
I'm riding with lady luck
freeways cars and trucks
stars beginning to fade
and I lead the parade
and I wish that I could
stay a little longer
ooh 'cause this fellings getting stronger
Six in the mornin'
gave me no warnin'
had to be on my way
now the cars are all passin' me
trucks are all flashin' me
'n I'm headed home from your place

OL' 55' by Tom Waits
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 I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks, Ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks, Ridin' with Lady Luck
