Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive. Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks, Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer, Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger. And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way. Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing, I'm on my way home from your place. And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks, Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer, Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger. And my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive. Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, Freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks...

Writer: Tom Waits. On the Border is the third studio album by the Eagles, released in 1974. Lead vocals by Glenn Frey and Don Henley, pedal steel guitar by Al Perkins. Lyrics: 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. *************************. + Informações

Ol' 55 was an Australian band specialising in retro, 1950s-era Rock 'n' Roll. They formed as Fanis in 1972 in Sutherland, Sydney, New South Wales (NSW). Drummer Geoff Plummer was working with Glenn A. Baker at the NSW Department of Media and invited Baker to hear his part-time band, including Pat Drummond, Rockpile Jones and Jimmy Manzie. In 1975, Baker took on their management, renamed them as Ol' 55 for the Tom Waits song (as covered by The Eagles), and recruited front man Frankie J. Holden and, later in the year, saxophonist Wilbur Wilde. The band enjoyed popularity with a style that bordered on parody but managed to combine novelty retro kitsch and clever theatrics with a keen sense of pop dynamics and an acute understanding of rock 'n' roll. Their top 20 hits on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart were, "On the Prowl" (No. 14, May 1976), "Looking for an Echo" (No. 9, August), "(I Want A) Rockin' Christmas" (No. 7, November), "Stay (While the Night is Still Young)" (No. 16, November 1977), and "Two Faces Have I" (No. 15, July 1980). Their debut album, Take It Greasy peaked at No. 2 in the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart in 1976. After line-up changes, Ol' 55 disbanded in 1981 while both Holden and Wilde had already furthered their musical careers and also taken roles in television entertainment. Various revivals titled Ol' 55, The Fives, Frankie J. Holden & The Fives, or Ol' Skydaddys contained members of the 1976 line-up of the band. Manzie moved .... + Informações

Rare promo video for this 1978 single (#23 Melbourne, #49 Perth); also appeared on the "Cruisin' For A Bruisin" LP. Frankie J Holden and Wilbur Wilde had left by this point, while Jim Manzie, Patrick Drummond and Rockpile Jones remained from the original line-up, joined by Bruce "Tangles" Allen on sax and Geoff Peterkin on drums. Future versions of the band continued into the early 2000s with a confusing array of line ups, though always including Rockpile Jones on vocals. en.wikipedia.org Not the greatest picture quality but the best I can do with a clip originally on 33 year old Philips format tape converted to VHS!. + Informações
