Long White Cadillac

Dave Alvin


Night wolves moan 
The winter hills are black 
I'm all alone 
Sitting in the back 
Of a long white Cadillac 

Headlights shine 
Highway fades to black 
I'll take my time 
In a long white Cadillac 
In a long white Cadillac 

Sometime I blame it on a woman 
Why my achin' heart bleeds 
Sometimes I blame it on the money 
Sometimes I blame it on me 

Train whistle cries 
Lost on its own track 
I'll close my eyes 
I'm never coming back 
In a long white Cadillac 

Night wolves moan 
The winter hills are black 
I'm all alone 
Sitting in the back 
Of a long white Cadillac 

One time I had all that I wanted 
But it just skipped through my hands 
One time I sang away the sorrow 
One time I took it like a man 

Headlights shine 
Highway fades to black 
It's my last ride 
I'm never coming back 
In a long white Cadillac
