| Lyrics: |
| 8 million miles from Buffalo, 2 score and one more year I've waltzed accross some finish lines, I've drowned in my own tears But I wonder what they'll speak of me, Not worried I will hear When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac I made my way with melody writing many a song They give me some celebrity Make me feel like I belong But as good as they have been to me, Not one will ride along When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac, When I lay down in the back, Of that Long, long Black Cadillac I believed I was God's Messanger, My mission right as rain I'd come to soothe the savages, I sing to ease thier pain Yet I'll have preached for nothing Should this foolish pride remain When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac Some nights as I may serenade Rough maidens stand and stare I like the way they look at me I fancy that they care But even if they loved me, How many would be there When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac When I lay down in the back, Of that Long, long, long Black Cadillac All the Years of sailing All the fears of failing Are just echo's trailing off, and off, and off Close the Final chapter All the things your after Say a prayer of things still lost I hope to roam ten million miles from the place where I begun To stride into the hazy night And stand beneath the sun But God help me if it matters just how much I've gotten done When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac Shed all the tears of Joy for me Bright flowers only send I will give up gracefully when this lifes at an end Cause I know I'll get another chance, to ride around again I know I'll rise again... When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac When I lay down in the back, Of that Long Black Cadillac.... |
