Lyrics
BIG BLACK CADILLAC coming up the drive.BIG BLACK CADILLAC makes me feel alive.
BIG BLACK CADILLAC coming up the lane.
BIG BLACK CADILLAC If you climb in back there's some fine champagne.
BIG BLACK CADILLAC take me to the church.
Helps me in my search. You wanna get married,
BIG BLACK CADILLAC gets me there on time, i tend to lose my time in my BIG BLACK CADILLAC.
BIG BLACK CADILLAC in the motorcade, where the books are stacked, that's where the gun was laid, where the gun was laid...
(the president...has been shot.)
BIG BLACK CADILLAC.
