Living down in Memphis, back in '75, we were scuffling hard just barely staying alive,
D D A A
money's kind of scarce when you're just an opening act,
E D A A A A
last thing on my mind was a Fleetwood Cadillac.
[Verse 2]

We were cruising downtown just on a Sunday drive, I looked out on a car lot and something caught my eye:
A A A N.C.
it was Baby Blue, had a rolls royce grill, a continental kit and silver spokes on the wheels.
D D A A
I put some money down and I told the man I would be back,
E D A A
I knew I had to have that Fleetwood Cadillac.

I drove it up to Nashville, I was feeling kinda proud but the billies: said it's gaudy, just too loud.
D D A A
That's all right, I was willing to take a little flak,
E D A A
you do what you must do for a Fleetwood Cadillac.

It was just too long, wouldn't fit in my garage, Uncle Sam was in the distance and it was not a mirage,
D D A A
said he needed money for some previous income tax,
E D A A
oh, I had to let it go but now I want my Fleetwood back.

The new Cadillacs, it's hard to even tell 'em, the colors ain't too cool and they're shaped like a
D D A A
watermelon; if they give me one I don't think I would even react,
E D A A
one thing on my mind: I want my Fleetwood back.
