Cadillac Jones

Every rock and country artist worth his nut sauce needs to write at least one Cadillac song. This is mine.
Cadillac Jones was a man on a mission
He liked shallow women and deep sea fishing
He didn’t do drugs and he didn’t drink liquor
There was only one thing made his heart beat quicker
Wasn’t weed or whiskey or little white pills
It was a drop-top ‘59 Coupe de Ville

He was going on ten when he saw his first Caddy
Up in the treefort hiding from his daddy
A Cadillac drove right past his home
Twenty feet long and dripping with chrome
He thought he was gonna have a heart attack
He changed his name and he never looked back

Chorus
Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Deep in his bones, he had a Cadillac jones
Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Everybody called him...Mr. Cadillac Jones

Solo

He left town on graduation day
Rode a Greyhound bus all the way to L.A.
The air was dirty and the sun was hot
He found a job at a used car lot
Now he’s rubbing elbows with movie stars
And he spends his days washing Cadillac cars

Chorus
Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Deep in his bones, he had a Cadillac jones
Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Everybody called him...Mr. Cadillac Jones

Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Deep in his bones, he had a Cadillac jones
Cadillac Jones, Cadillac Jones
Everybody called him...Mr. Cadillac Jones
