It was the Senior High School yearbook, the of '63 I'll forget the way you gave your book and pen to me It was all talked out and settled, you I'd understand A girl with dreams as big as yours just had to make plans
So I turned to your best picture, most likely to The only one in the whole damn book that didn't show you me And it said that you liked inner strength, so I tried to be to form And I hid my teenage heart, instead I signed this poem
I hope you drive a Cadillac I hope you always drink I hope you shine with the sunshine I hope you never to face the rain
Unless the clouds are lined with silver, may heart You meet be gold and may you the world as kind As you've been told, at the ten class reunion They read your personal note and displayed cover photograph
In your length sable coat, but the words underneath the picture Were mattered most to me There was something in between the That no one could see
It said, I drive a Cadillac, I always drink champagne And if you make while the sun shines You never to face the rain, I travel fast because I go alone Everybody gets bought and
And I if you'd really become that cold That was the last anyone heard from you Until I got your card today, a single line and That said, "I'm home to stay"
I wonder what life has done to you, I wonder why you of me But if you stop by to say hello, I what you'll think if you see An old ragged high school that falls open to just one page With a picture of a girl's face full of beauty, dreams and rage
But the words underneath the Is the that's still so true It's the one I no one would read Unless I it to you
I you always drive a Cadillac I you always drink champagne And carry my heart wherever you go Even if I see you again
But if you it back home to me Maybe then mean you know That the strongest the love that let's you go I you always drive a Cadillac
