Lyrics
It feels like these potholes are filled with gold
Tonight Girl I ain't ever growing old
2 am I got the the road all to myself
And my brothers used diamonds sitting on my shelf
When she saw it in the driveway she began to cry
She said "Boy, where'd you get the money or is that strictly classified?"
I said the night shift crew gets extra to see us through
But that's not why I'm here for you
Do you wanna take a ride in my Stolen Cadillac
Mad dash over that state line
this little piece of heaven she could be mine
they've already taken so much away
Those monthly installments I ain't never gonna pay
I've walked these dusty streets 'till I wore out my shoes
but I was never ever really able to get close to you
then I saw you in the corner down at the Strand
you were cuddling up with the Exxon filling station man
Said you were prospecting for gas for my stolen cadilllac
My nightmares now outnumber all my good dreams
but it don't really matter honey if you know what I mean
I'll tell you now your daddy lied, a good car don't have to be justified
I climbed this mountain of love on a buddy's dare
I knew I could make it to the altar with time to spare
I said I would never ever walk that long long last mile
without a car to get me there in style
When I pulled up outside the church I heard her sigh
What kind of Honeymoon is planned cause I'm mystified?
Darling I said this is all we got to see us through
You should have known because this is what I do
Living my life in a Stolen Cadillac
Yes, I'm living my life in a Stolen Cadillac
Living ain't never easy in a Stolen Cadillac
Life is hard in my stolen Cadillac
It;s always hard in my stolen Cadillac
Living my life in a Stolen Cadillac
