In a Cadillac Hearse
Hard times, nickel and dime'd
Paid all your dues but still doin' the time
Oh a honky tonk opened up in vain
With a blonde fatale on a silver string
A Cadillac hearse with a convict bride
A black market baby in a vague disguise
Like a caviar cuck wearin' alligator shoes
Dancin' onstage singin' 'bout your drugstore blues
Cause I ain't gonna dig no ditches
Never gonna be covered in grease
I got a velvet voice with nothing to say
But the one who's gonna say it is me
Gonna have three big ass houses
Gonna have twenty vintage new cars
If you see me now, just give it a year
Cause I'm gonna be the brand new
Rock and Roll Star
A hospital stay with schizophrenic eyes
The magazines say you're a genius mind
Oh Mr. Fancy Fancy champagne on ice
With a country smile showin' pearly whites
Warm beer with your cold women
You lie about the times that you've been to prison
Oh I sympathize but don't kill yourself
Got money to burn, and I'm burnin' like a bat outta hell
Cause I ain't gonna dig no ditches
Never gonna be covered in grease
I got a velvet voice with nothing to say
But the one who's gonna say it is me
Gonna have three big ass houses
Gonna have twenty vintage new cars
If you see me now, just give it a year
Cause I'm gonna be the brand new
Rock and Roll Star
Well I get my money either wired or check
Cause I'm a cowboy, honey
And a Hollywood hick
Trade a couple of dogs for a Bowie knife
Put 'em up on high
With your bad name in neon light
Cause I ain't gonna dig no ditches
Never gonna be covered in grease
I got a velvet voice with nothing to say
But the one who's gonna say it is me
Gonna have three big ass houses
Gonna have twenty vintage new cars
If you see me now, just give it a year
Cause I'm gonna be the brand new
Rock and Roll Star
Gonna be the Rock and Roll Star
Gonna be the Rock and Roll Star
Paid all your dues but still doin' the time
Oh a honky tonk opened up in vain
With a blonde fatale on a silver string
A Cadillac hearse with a convict bride
A black market baby in a vague disguise
Like a caviar cuck wearin' alligator shoes
Dancin' onstage singin' 'bout your drugstore blues
Cause I ain't gonna dig no ditches
Never gonna be covered in grease
I got a velvet voice with nothing to say
But the one who's gonna say it is me
Gonna have three big ass houses
Gonna have twenty vintage new cars
If you see me now, just give it a year
Cause I'm gonna be the brand new
Rock and Roll Star
A hospital stay with schizophrenic eyes
The magazines say you're a genius mind
Oh Mr. Fancy Fancy champagne on ice
With a country smile showin' pearly whites

Oh I sympathize but don't kill yourself

I got a velvet voice with nothing to say

Gonna have three big ass houses
Gonna have twenty vintage new cars

Cause I'm gonna be the brand new
Rock and Roll Star
Gonna be the Rock and Roll Star
Gonna be the Rock and Roll Star
