"Cadillac Tears" by Kevin Denney

(Wynn Varble/Leslie Satcher)

Well,he wanted someone firmer and he wanted someone younger
And he always had a thing for blondes
As it happened,his new secretary happened to be all that
rolled into one
And the woman who had lived with him,an angel who had given
him
The last twenty two years
Is now cryin' big Cadillac tears

Cadillac tears,don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears,she ain't so sad
Well,she might a lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No,mama didn't do too bad
Aw,she's crying big Cadillac tears

Well,she's runnin' through his money so fast it isn't funny
Aw,she's emptied every shop in town
Oh,she bought'em Akin diamond rings and lots of other shiny
things to wear when she goes steppin' out
And she's headed to her lawyers 'cause this morning when he
called her
He said, "Checks are pillin' up down here"
Aw,she's cryin' big Cadillac tears

Cadillac tears,don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears,she ain't so sad
Well,she might a lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No,mama didn't do too bad
Aw,she's crying big Cadillac tears

Hey man, she's crusin' down the street with custom wheels
and leather seats
You know,she gets a new one every year
Aw,she's crying big Cadillac tears

Mama is cryin' big Cadillac tears
Big old Cadillac tears
