lyrics

Cadillac Song

I bought myself a Cadillac
Nineteen sixty five
It was the kind of car I always wanted
But I never had the nerve to drive
I’m burning down a two lane road
There ain’t no police car near
I never felt so alive
I only wish that you were here

Everything is going to be alright
Everything will work out fine
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight and ride

I’ve got the radio turned up loud
I’m cranking out the songs
I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
And Help Me Rhonda all night long
Wolfman Jack and Murray the K
Keep me company
I never want this ride to end
I know how lonely lonely can be

chorus

I’m a fool for your love
Don’t you know the joker laughs at me?
And all I really know
Is just how sweet your love can be
Come on out with me tonight and ride

Inst.
The lights down in the city
Look so far away
Somewhere there you’re waiting
Maybe you are waiting for me

Everything is going to be alright
Everything will work out fine
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight and ride

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
