Cadillac Man

Well I'm the king of the road
Ain't got no place to go, no place I call home
Seen the world from behind this old wheel
Driving away from those feelings I feel
Desire cuts like a knife
I'll leave you bleeding but I'll make you feel alright
I love you but don't hold me too tight
Don't put up a fight cause these wheels gotta roll
There ain't nobody, ain't nobody, ain't no savior gonna save my soul
Well I've been searching for a rainbow and a pot of gold
That's mine to hold that can't be bought or can't be sold
I'm a poet, I'm a preacher, got a lawyer's tongue
I can sit here at home but I ain't nobody's son
Before you get too close you best understand
I'm a Cadillac man
I'm a liar, I'm a lover, I'm a lawman's gun
I'm a sailor to the sea, I'm born of gypsy blood
I'm the aces in a card player's hand
I'm a Cadillac man
And I've been driving all night
Chain-smoking cigarettes and chasing tail lights
Through the smoke I see the deal of my life
And if you got ten rounds then you got a hell of a fight
So if you want to cry, well then you cry to me
If you want to lie, I'll let you lie to me
If you want to laugh, well then I'll play the clown
You can laugh 'till you cry
Everybody, everybody
Everybody's got the truth to hide
There ain't nobody, ain't nobody ever satisfied
Or justified, or criticized and crucified
I'm a poet, I'm a preacher, got a lawyer's tongue
I can stay here at home but I ain't nobody's son
Before you get too close you best understand
I'm a Cadillac man
Well I'm a liar, I'm a lover, I'm a lawman's gun
I'm a sailor to the sea, I'm born of gypsy blood
I'm the aces in a card player's hand
I'm a Cadillac man
I'm just a Cadillac man (keep on riding)
Cadillac man
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm a Cadillac man
Woke up this morning
Looked in the mirror saw the miles in my eyes
For one moment I thought my big deal had just passed me by
My Cadillac died
But I just cracked a smile and the mirror said ride
Cadillac man
I'm just a Cadillac man
Cadillac man
Well I'm a poet I'm a preacher, got a lawyer's tongue
I can stay here at home but I ain't nobody's son
Before you get too close you best understand
I'm a Cadillac man
I'm a liar, I'm a lover, I'm a lawman's gun
I'm a sailor to the sea, I'm born of gypsy blood
I'm the aces in a card player's hand
I'm a Cadillac man
I'm a Cadillac man
A Cadillac man
Cadillac man
A Cadillac man
