Tom: G
G
He's Cadillac Jack Favor and the name rings true,
C7
if he's got a ride any stranger would, too,
G
the one bad habit that his Ponder would say
D
is sure gonna put him through the trials one day.
[Verse]
G
And that's just what happened, he took pity on two men,
C7
heading down to Louisiana, he stopped and let them in,
G
and the thanks he did for helping them
D G
would make him wish he was busting broncs again.
C G
He dropped them off in Bossieer City where they met up with a man,
F D
that vagabond commitee barely even had a plan.
G C
It was just a simple robbery turned double homicide,
G D G
they got away with murder, it'd be someone else's hide.
[Chorus]
G
Almost two years come and gone, they never solved that crime,
C7
'til they found one of our vagabonds already doing time,
G
when that jailbird started singing, they all knew the words were wrong,
D
but the sheriff and the DA and the judge all sang along.
[Verse]
G
They pinned it on Jack Favor, gave him life without parole
C7
gave Jack's freedom to the jailbird, payment on the lies he told,
G D G
just so happens that election year everybody paid out at the polls.
C7 G
Cadillac's no fallen hero, and he's never gonna break,
F D
when it comes to prison rodeo, there'll be no easy eight.
G C
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame,
G D G
it'd be in the dictionary underneath Jack Favor's name.
[Solo]
G C G D G
[Outro]
C7 G
Cadillac's no fallen hero, and he's never gonna break,
F D
when it comes to prison rodeo, there's still no easy eight.
G C
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame,
G D G
it'd be in the dictionary underneath Jack Favor's name.
G
Yeah, it's the world's most crooked picture,
C
and when it comes to being framed,
G D G
Cadillac Jack Favor should be in the hall of fame.
