Story Behind The Song
Lyrics: Cadillac
She never felt a love like that
even though her daddy drove a cadillac
She met him by her pool out back
he was cutting the grass, she was wearing in black
He said I like the way you dress
I think I wanna take you on a trip out west
I'm gonna leave this town
I'm gonna throw away my phone
I'm gonna drive across the country
do you wanna come along?
She fell in love with that boy
they ran away with the car
Oh they were dressed in black driving out west in a cadillac
She fell in love with that boy
They made it all the way to the tri-county line
her foot on the gas they were making good time
it was the middle of the night
they thought nobody would know
that's why they couldn't believe it
when they heard it on the radio
her daddy woke up and he saw the light
he never was at home but he was tonight
he walked into her room she left a note on her phone
it said I'm never looking back
and I'm never coming home, well
