Cadillac Cowboy

Well, my daddy was a roughy from the Turquoise Circuit
Lord knows that he meant well, Lord knows he wasn't perfect
Died when I was only one years old
From the tip of a horn of a rodeo bull
Now me and Mama was on our own
No broke horses, just a broken home, but
He left me the buckles and the chaps with the rhinestones
A penchant for drinkin' and a love for the wild ones
A pistol and a rolled up two-dollar bill
In the trunk of a gold Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Well now I was a good boy when I was younger
But I grew a little older and I got a little hunger
For the lights, the bulls, the cowboy hats
So I put on a buckle, took off with the chaps
And I hopped in the car, stepped on the gas
And I ain't lookin' back, nah, ain't lookin' back

He left me the buckles and the chaps with the rhinestones
A penchant for drinkin' and a love for the wild ones
A pistol and a rolled up two-dollar bill
In the trunk of a gold Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Well, I's playing some poker with a stranger in Reno
After the rodeo at an all-night casino
Couldn't seem to win, my last two dollars was gone
When I caught him cheatin', he went for his gun
Thanks to a daddy lookin' out for his son
My pistol was quicker, now I'm out on the run

Once read all about the man I been missin'
In a Cheyenne Eagle newspaper clippin'
It's a rugged tale of the rise and the fall
I lost my daddy at the Daddy of 'em All, but

He left me the buckles and the chaps with the rhinestones
A penchant for drinkin' and a love for the wild ones
A pistol and a rolled up two-dollar bill
In the trunk of a gold Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Haulin' ass
Headin' south
Down the road in a gold Cadillac Coupe de Ville
