LONG WHITE CADILLAC
(Dave Alvin)
THE BLASTERS (Warner Bros. 1983)

Night wolves moan
The winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
I'll take my time
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac

Sometimes I blame it on a woman
Why my achin' heart bleeds
Sometimes I blame ken the money
Sometimes I blame it on me

Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I'll close my eves
I'm never coming back
In a long white Cadillac
Night wolves moan
The winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac

One time I had all that I wanted
But it lust slipped through my hands
One time I sang away the sorrow
One time I took it like a man

Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
I'm never coming back
In a long white Cadillac

(Dedicated to Hank Williams)
