Black Cadillac (Joe Pinson, ASCAP)

There's a black Cadillac
with a door on the back,
and it's waiting just for you.
It may be today, it may be tomorrow,     
or when you're a hundred and two.
But the man who owns that car
will one day show you what it's like inside.
How's it gonna feel in that box of steel,
when you take your very last ride?

CHORUS:  You won't feel nothin', Jack,
'cause you'll be dead.
They'll be no more thoughts of
things you'd like to do
dancin' around in your head.
It'll be too late to fill your plate
with all that stuff you've never done.
Don't waste another day while you're okay.
Get out and have some fun.

We wallk around blind
to the passing of time,
'cause we're just too busy to see
that the clock on the wall is a wake-up call
that's intended for you and me.
When you breathe your last -
go out with a blast -
to meet and greet your maker.
How's it gonna feel in that box of steel
when your chauffeur is the undertaker?
REPEAT CHORUS
