White Cadillac (Ode To Ronnie Hawkins)

(album: Jubilation - 1998)

This leg is long as a Georgia pine
Rolling Mississippi levee on my mind today
But it's so far away.

Sedan DeVille, what a ride brand new
Four barrel wide open but you better pull over, boys
He's coming on through.

Heading up North, we're leaving stills behind
The kids are wide-eyed
I know everybody wants to ride ..

Big white Cadillac
I hope somebody's got my back, boy
Wheels burning on the rim 'cause we're closing in
We're gonna rock this town again.

Red knuckles smashing on them rocking 88's
Strings breaking, sticks flying every which a way
Man, ain't that something, the big doghouse thumping.

Camel walk, back flip, mohair what a touch
Who needs the King thank you, thank you very much
Ain't Yonge Street lucky, I know they are in Memphis and Kentucky.

But Little Rock, Newport, Oklahoma, New York
The kids are wide-eyed
I know everybody wants to ride ..

Big white Cadillac
I hope somebody's got my back, boy
Wheels burning on the rim 'cause we're closing in
We're gonna rock this town again.

Big white Cadillac
I hope somebody's got my back, boy
Wheels burning on the rim 'cause we're closing in
We're gonna rock this town again.

Oh my my, it looks like the fix is in
The trap is set, the secret's kept
The fire's burning, the wheels are turning
We got to go before the smoke starts clearing.

Big white Cadillac
I hope somebody's got my back, boy
Wheels burning on the rim 'cause we're closing in
We're gonna rock this town again.

Big white Cadillac
I hope somebody's got my back, boy
Wheels burning on the rim 'cause we're closing in.

Big white Cadillac
Big white Cadillac
Big white Cadillac.
