Cadillac Sunset
Intro:

My baby left me, I'd thought she'd always stay
But now she's packed up and gone away

I did what I could, and now I pray
In the junkyard, at the Cadillac Sunset

Verse:

I tried to go to Nashville
I heard the music's good there
But I ended up in Newark
By myself and full of despair
I no longer had my baby
My car was covered in mud
So with no other choices left
This Tennessee boy became a stud

No, my father wasn't too proud of me
He hollered me home instantly
He said he had a few stern things to say
But to my surprise...

Chorus:

He sat me on the truck
Of this beat-up Cadillac
And for the firs time in my life
Gave me a pat on the back

It'll be alright, son
(he said...)

Look up at the sky
The sun is setting
When you wake up tomorrow
It will be a'rising

It's a new day, son

Ohh oh
It's a Cadillac sunset

Verse:

We live and die by trucks
My mother always said to me
As sure as a donkey bucks
My family loved our country
And with those as her final words
I never saw my old lady again
And now I sit, reading books
On the Cadillac in the sun
Chorus:

He sat me on the truck
Of this beat-up Cadillac
And for the firs time in my life
Gave me a pat on the back

It'll be alright, son
(he said...)

Look up at the sky
The sun is setting
When you wake up tomorrow
It will be a'rising

It's a new day, son

Ohh oh
It's a Cadillac sunset

Ohh oh
It's a Cadillac sunset
