Cadillac Road

歌詞

When the mill shut down, it tore down the town My wife looked for the city, yeah but I stuck around A cold wind blows down an old dirt road where the time (blows) But (it) man God only knows I spent ten years mournin' for a life that was gone I spent five more wanderin' like a no-good bum And now I'm back in the valley gotta make a new start Gotta change with the times, but I don't have a heart, now Now every night when the work bell rings I gun my Chevy to the Interstate and see what it brings But I always end up out here all alone Where it all began out on Cadillac Road I was lucky in love, but my love ran cold Doin' late nights drinkin' just to carry that load When the word come down from a foreman at dawn "We got two weeks boys and then we all be gone." When I got to the house, she was packing the truck She said, "I'm fresh out o' reasons so goodbye and good luck." As I watched her drive south the wind turned cold And I just started walking without nowhere to go on Cadillac Road A fire starts in the heart then it grows 'Cause up here, on Cadillac Road A wise man once said "You never know just what you've got until it's gone for good," yeah I got a teenage boy, he doesn't know my name Sometime I go and watch him at his football games But one of these days I'm gonna tell him the truth 'Bout who his old man is who I was in my youth 'Bout how dreams can die and there's an old dirt road Where a house used to stand, used to be our home But there's a love that's pure, you know it's pure as gold And sometimes I think about it when I'm drivin' up on that Cadillac Road A fire starts in the heart then it grows 'Cause up here, on cadillac road A wise man once said "You never know just what you've got until it's gone for good," yeah 'Cause up here, on Cadillac Road A fire starts in the heart then it grows Up here, on Cadillac Road My love is like a wildfire road 'Cause up here, on Cadillac Road A fire starts in the heart then it grows Up here, on Cadillac Road My love is like a wildfire road 'Cause up here, on Cadillac Road A fire starts in the heart then it grows Up here, on Cadillac Road My love is like a wildfire road
