[00:25.00] | I woke up in a hotel and I didnt know what to do |
[00:29.00] | I turned the tv on and wrote a letter to you |
[00:31.30] | The news was talkin bout a dragnet up on the interstate |
[00:36.50] | Said they were lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates |
[00:46.55] | Since I left california baby, things have gotten worse |
[00:50.00] | Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse |
[00:53.00] | Tell that judge in bakersfield that my trial will have to wait |
[00:58.30] | Down here theyre lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates |
[01:01.30] | It was somewhere in nevada, it was cold outside |
[01:05.05] | She was shiverin in the dark, so I offered her a ride |
[01:09.00] | Three bank jobs later, four cars hot wired |
[01:12.00] | We crossed the mississippi like an oil slick fire |
[01:20.50] | If they‘d known what we was up to they wouldn’t a let us in |
[01:24.00] | When we landed in memphis like original sin |
[01:27.00] | Up elvis presley boulevard to the graceland gates |
[01:32.40] | See we were lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates |
[01:48.40] | Well, there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage |
[01:52.00] | And there wasn’t one lincoln and there wasn’t one dodge |
[01:55.00] | And there wasn’t one japanese model or make |
[02:00.30] | Just pretty, pretty cadillacs with tennessee plates |
[02:04.00] | She saw him singing once when she was seventeen |
[02:07.30] | And ever since that day she’s been living in between |
[02:10.45] | I was never king of nothing but this wild weekend |
[02:13.45] | Anyway he wouldnt care, hell he gave them to his friends |
[02:34.55] | Well this ain’t no hotel I’m writin you from |
[02:41.00] | It’s the tennessee prison up at brushy mountain |
[02:47.45] | Where yours sincerelys do in five to eight |
[02:56.00] | The stamp out my time making tennessee plates |
[00:25.00] | I woke up in a hotel and I didnt know what to do |
