歌曲歌詞
I woke up in a hotel
Didn't know what to do
I turned the TV on
Wrote a letter to you
The news was talkin' 'bout
A dead man upon the interstate
Seems they were lookin'
For a Cadillac with Tennessee plates
Well since I left California
Baby things have gotten worse
Seems the land of opportunity
For me is just a curse
Tell that judge in Bakersfield
My trial'll have to wait
Down here they're lookin'
For a Cadillac with Tennessee plates
It was somewhere in Nevada
It was cold outside
She was shiverin' in the dark
So I offered her a ride
Three bank jobs later
Four cars hot wired
We crossed the Mississippi
Like an oil slick fire
Now if they'd known what we was
Up to they wouldn't let us in
And now we landed
In Memphis like original sin
Elvis Presley Boulevard
To the Graceland gates
See we were lookin' for a Cadillac
With Tennessee plates
Well there must have been a dozen
Of them parked in that garage
There wasn't one Lincoln
And there wasn't one Dodge
There wasn't one
Japanese model or make
Just pretty pretty Cadillacs
With Tennessee plates
She saw him singing once
When she was seventeen
And ever since that day
She's been living in between
I was never king of nothin'
But this wild weekend
Anyway he wouldn't care
Hell he gave them to his friends
This ain't no hotel
I'm writin' you from
Now it's a Tennessee
Prison up at Brushy Mountain
Where yours sincerely's
Doin' five to eight
I'm just stampin' out my
Time makin' Tennessee plates
