There she sits, buddy, just a-gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
Gonna pack my Pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt
Gonna take 'em down to the Cadillac Ranch

El Dorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Drives just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
So when I die, buddy, throw my body in the back
Take me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James Dean in a Mercury `49
Junior Johnson runnin' in the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans Am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' all alone in the Colorado night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let `em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac...
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Cadillac, Cadillac...
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine

I had too much lonely
I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
Faithful to tradition
Without an intermission
We'll still be together when the kids are grown

I've been lookin for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I' m just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all...

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em

Oh what a love, that'll bind the wounds of a loss and heal my heart
Oh what a love, to cast away the pain
Oh what a love, that'll bear for me the cost of a brand new start
Oh what a love, to let me begin again

Oh what a light, that'll brighten up the corners of a lonely life
Oh what a light, to cast away the rain
Oh what a light, to remove the gloom of facin' the dark alone
Oh what a light, I believe I can see again

I remember the day
We walked on the beach till sunset, then we sang
And the songs we played were a promise of love that'll last beyond the grave

Oh what a song, learned from the sea taught soley to the young
Oh what a song, to cast away the rain
Oh what a song, to break the bonds of fear and still the sound
Oh what a song, I believe I can sing again

I remember the day
We met at a place of hope, I took what you gave
And the words we'd say were a promise of love that'll honor beyond the grave

Oh what a love, that'll bind the wounds of a loss and heal my heart
Oh what a love, to cast away the pain
Oh what a love, that'll bear for me the cost of a brand new start
Oh what a love, to let me begin again
Oh what a love
Oh what a light
Oh what a song

Sittin' alone in the dark
Wastin' my time in a park
'Cause I've got nowhere to go
Had me a job 'til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow but there was no help
Now I've got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go

One last look at my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
And he says "it's got to go"
Worked this piece all my life
It broke my heart and it took my wife
Now I've got nothing to show
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go

Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workin' boots and my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land but it ain't my land
I'm a workin' man, with nowhere to go

I was born to the sunrise
Breaking back all day
Now I've got something to say
I am broke, but not broken
And I am not alone
'cause there's a lot of folks
With nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

I like to drink my beer
Spend time with the boys
After work, to down a few
Is something I enjoy
And sometimes I stay out too late
Yes, I know it's true
But I love only you

And I like to take life easy
Work out in the yard
Sleep late on the weekends
After an all-night game of cards
And drivin' my old Chevy
On Sunday afternoon
But I love only you

And I like my old guitar
And I'd like to be a star and shine on you
And I'd like to write a song
The whole world could sing along
About you

I love only you
And I like my old guitar
And I'd like to be a star and shine on you
And I'd like to write a song
The whole world could sing along
About you

I like my old memories
The girls I used to know
Some of them still have a place
Where my mind likes to go
Of all the ones I've cared for
Lord knows there's been a few
I love only you
Oh, honey, I love only you

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and the lightning bugs
are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back by the ole stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready
Ooooo Ooooo

You and me going fishin' in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through, it feels so good to be with you

Spring is almost over and the summer's come
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right just to take you along
Baby get ready

And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite
We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready
Ooooo Ooooo

You and me going fishin' in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow

Stayin' the whole night thru, it feels so good to be with
You and me going fishin' in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night thru, it feels so good to be with you

Sittin' on the front porch tryin' to keep still
Baby's lookin' finer than a fifty dollar bill
Pretty blue eyes and it isn't hard to see
That baby's got a hold on me

Long blond hair down the middle of her back
She's got the keys to her daddy's Cadillac
Got every little thing that I'm ever gonna need
Baby's got a hold on me

Got a hold on, got a hold on me
Got a hold on, baby's got a hold on me

We've got a full tank of gas, lookin' for a thrill
A three day weekend, lot of time to kill
Put the top down but we're never gonna freeze
'Cause baby's got a hold on me

Got a hold on, got a hold on me
Got a hold on, baby's got a hold on me
Hold on.......

Well, the full moon's shinin' on a Carolina night
Drivin' my girl across the interstate line
Got a preacher waitin' and that's how it's gonna be
'Cause baby's got a hold on me

Got a hold on, got a hold on me
Got a hold on, baby's got a hold on me

Got a hold on, got a hold on
Got a hold on, baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me

She's history
No one would give her a star on the walk
She'd have a hundred if pillows could talk
Where have I seen her before
She's the face on the cutting room floor

It's no mystery
Acting in school at the tenderest age
Lit up the room when she stepped on the stage
Came to L.A. for some more
She's the face on the cutting room floor

She had visions of contracts
And thousands of people in line
To see her
Knocking on door after door
After all of this time
She's not sure

Up in Hollywood
Stayed with an agent she met in a bar
Laughed when he told her he'd make her a star
Where had she heard that before
She's the face on the cutting room floor

One night he told her that she'd never get anywhere
In her clothes
That's what it takes to play movieland musical chairs
Now she knows

Goodbye, Hollywood
Leaving tonight on the 2:30 'hound
Sunrise on Sunset she won't be around
But they'll replace her with so many more
She's the face on the cutting room floor
Oh, she's the face on the cutting room floor
Poor little face on the cutting room floor
Face on the cutting room floor

Seems like lately we're losin' touch
Work to hard and worry too much
I think it's time for me and you
To get back to what we used to do
We'd steal away on a Saturday night
Meet in the field when the time was right
Just us two and a starry sky
Felt like paradise

I said ooh baby goin' down that road tonight
I said it's too crazy need to hold each other tight
Thinkin' maybe the moon stills shines as bright
Like it did back then, it'll shine again
Down that road tonight

Remember all the songs that we used to know
Dancin' in the dark to the radio
Lost in the rhythm, kickin' up some heat
The memories are still so sweet
Time's gone by but it's plain to see
I still love you and you still love me
Let's shake these troubles put 'em all aside
C'mon we're gonna take that ride

I said ooh baby goin' down that road tonight
I said it's too crazy need to hold each other tight
Thinkin' maybe the moon stills shines as bright
Like it did back then, it'll shine again
Down that road tonight
Down that road

Down that road

One in a million in a lonely town
Two hundred people trying to keep me down
I've taken all I can, I ain't lookin' back
Small town boy in a back yard lot
Can't make a living with the luck I've got
I'm gonna leave it all, I ain't looking back

That's the way I remember
It seemed to me when I was young
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down
Still I go home again in my heart

My father worked hard on the railroad tracks
Thirty-seven years cut across his back
He gave it all he had for what he believed
Like every other kid that came before
I grew up believing there was something more
and I still believe, I still believe

That's the way I remember
It seemed to me when I was young
But I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night
And the rain on the window when I close my eyes
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch in the dark

There are days when I know I've traveled so far
That I'll never find the road leading back to the start
Still I go home again in my heart
Still I go home again in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
