Mercedes Cadillac

I’m fifteen years old and I
Quit going to school last week
Something I saw turned me
Full grown man overnight
First the window rattled and
The floorboards started to creak
I looked outside and saw her
Stepping out into the light

Took me less than one hot minute
To commit my first mortal sin
I shook myself so hard and fast
I thought I had a heart attack
And to think this wasted life of
Throwing dice and drinking gin
Began the first time I laid eyes on

Mercedes Cadillac
She's long and lean
Sleek and black
There’s never been a woman
Like Mercedes Cadillac

Pa told me if I think about her too much
I might end up going blind
Ma said “forget about her
That girl just ain’t our kind”
Elanor the girl next door told me
Not to come around no more
My priest says only an exorcist
Can save me from Satan’s whore

She's built for speed
With a touch of class
God must of broke the mold
The day he made
Mercedes Cadillac

(BREAK)

I’ve been waiting
On the curb all week
Hoping that she'll come back
I think I lost my heart to
Mercedes Cadillac

I got my old suitcase down
And I’m starting to pack
Been a month gone by since
The night I saw her drive away
I’ll hit each town on the highway
And search in every nook and crack
I guess I’ll keep on searching
Even if it takes until my dying day

Mister someday
I’m gonna find her
Then I’m gonna bring her back
On that day I’ll make
An honest woman of
Mercedes Cadillac
