Fast Cadillac

Speedin' through the night in a fast Cadillac

  Keepin' one eye to the front and the other lookin' back

I'm a wanted man

  I can't go back

I was livin' the life and up against the law

  When you're in this deep the writings on the wall

And there's no gettin' out when it's you they saw

The sun's comin' up on this fast Cadillac

  Got the money and my future locked in the back

Keep a foot on the pedal into the blue

  And out of the black

Never saw it comin', didn't know it'd go down like this

  She took her best shot...close, but missed

Moved in close for one last kiss

  That's when I knew she was really pissed

She promised to love me 'til the end of time

  But it was just part of a bigger crime

She said "I'll take the money

  It will buy me some time"

East St. Louis...Kansas City...Minot

  Just keep going 'til you find the right spot

In a fast Cadillac you'll never get caught

Silent footsteps behind me

  Atlanta...Jacksonville...MIAMI

Keep on movin' or it's jail for me

Need a corner where I can hide

  Lookin' for a girl to be by my side

Get in a fast Cadillac and ride

Woke up this morning in a Caribbean wind

  Palm Beach...Loxihatchee...Twenty Mile Bend

Ever have one of those days when

  You could not find a friend?

Win, lose, or draw--I'll beat them all,  says Ramblin' Jack

  Rock to the end, says the man with the razorback

And I say "Thank God for that Fast Cadillac"
