From the recording Night Bloom
Lyrics
I fell hook, line and sinker when I fell in love with you
So charming, so attentive and too damn good to be true
I doubt you ever loved me. I was just your trophy wife
Now I can’t go on givin’ you the best years of my life
It was on the day you said “I do”, you thought your work was done
You sat back in your easy chair. I never had a bit of fun
I was just a door prize to put on display
Honey if that’s what you call love, I’ll just be on my way
I got me a black Cadillac with stolen license plates
I put my guitars in the back, and I’m cruisin’ down the interstate
It’ll be a cold day in hell when you see this pretty face
I’m gone, gone, gone and I plan to stay that way
I got me a black Cadillac with stolen license plates
I put my guitars in the back, and I’m cruisin’ down the interstate
It’ll be a cold day in hell when you see this pretty face
I’m gone, gone, gone and I plan to stay that way
When you wake up in your beer-stained shirt, I’d love to see your face
‘Cause I left you the perfect girl to take my place
She don’t make conversation; just blow her up ‘n she’ll be
Always there beside you lookin’ like a beauty queen
I got me a black Cadillac with stolen license plates
I put my guitars in the back, and I’m cruisin’ down the interstate
It’ll be a cold day in hell when you see this pretty face
I’m gone, gone, gone and I plan to stay that way
Baby I’m gone, gone, gone and I plan to stay that way
