Lyrics

Leavin' this town got the ticket in my hand Greyhound gonna haul me to the promised land Can't shake this restless in my bones Mama don't fret I won't be alone Gonna make me a fortune and I'm comin' back... In a cadillac! Ain't no jobs, mill closed last year If ya wanna get ahead, get the hell outta here There's a lot of new money in this old guitar Hold on Daddy, don't ya sell that farm Gonna make me a pile and I'm comin' back... In a cadillac! This backwoods boy's gonna be an uptown deal And I'll be back home in my coverted "ville" There'll be so much green They're gonna think I robbed a bank when I get back... In a Cadillac! These neon lights leave me shinin' like glitter And if I play real good I get the pick of the litter If what she's workin' feels just right She might wind up and be my wife Throw her suitcase in and then I'll drive her on back... In my Cadillac! This backwoods boy's gonna be an uptown deal And I'll be back home in my coverted "ville" There'll be so much green They're gonna think I robbed a bank when I get back... In a Cadillac! In my Cadillac!
