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.
