ol' '55 ^*

• muhteşem bir şarkı. tom waits çok güzel söyler.
  
  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, -- wrong
  now the trucks are all passin' me and the lights all flashin' -- correct
  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.
  (oh) -- 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, -- ( he doesend say 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.
• eagles'ın 1974 yılında piyasaya çıkan on the border isimli albümünde 7. sırada yer alan şarkı..
• tom waits'in icimdeki tüm durusları donduran aynı zamanda olduran sessizliği....
• akustik versiyonu dinlendirici, used songs'da ki versiyonu ise gaz verici şaheser.
• insanı özendiren tom waits şarkısı.
  
  neye özendirdiğini tanımlayamıyorum. ne zaman dinlesem salt bir özenme hissi geliyor. ne olduğunu anlasam yapacağım ama.
• tom waits' in dünyasına giriş kapısı.
  
  debut albümü olan closing time' ın ilk parçasıdır bu.
