Black Cadillac
Rosanne Cash · Essential Rosanne Cash [2011]
It was a black Cadillac
that drove you away
now everybody's talking
but they don't have much to say
It was a black sky of rain
none of it fell
now one of us gets to go to heaven
one has to stay here in hell
It's a lonely world
I guess it always was
minus you
minus blood
my blood
It was a black Cadillac
like one you used to drive
yeah you were always rolling
but those wheels burnt up your life
It's a black heart of pain that I'm wearing
that suits me just fine
'cause there was nothing I could do for you
when you were still alive
It's a lonely world
just a numbers game
feeling just the same
It's a lonely world
I guess it always was
minus you
minus blood
my blood
that drove you away
now everybody's talking
but they don't have much to say
It was a black sky of rain
none of it fell
now one of us gets to go to heaven
one has to stay here in hell
It's a lonely world
I guess it always was
minus you
minus blood
my blood
It was a black Cadillac
like one you used to drive
yeah you were always rolling
but those wheels burnt up your life
It's a black heart of pain that I'm wearing
that suits me just fine
'cause there was nothing I could do for you
when you were still alive
It's a lonely world
just a numbers game
feeling just the same
It's a lonely world
I guess it always was
minus you
minus blood
my blood
