[Verse 1]
Granddaddy’s car sat rustin’ in the pasture
Tailfin chrome peekin’ through the weeds
Whitewall dreams on a busted axle
Key on a nail with the barnyard keys
[Verse 2]
Summer I turned sixteen
He tossed it to me
Said
“Son
She’s ugly but she runs just fine”
We poured in gas
Prayed over that engine
Coughed up dust
Then she rolled like time
[Chorus]
Cadillacs and county lines
Windows down
Radio kind of out of time
Four bald tires and a backseat sky
Haulin’ every broken heart I ever had to drive
Cadillacs and county lines
That old steel frame still holdin’ my life
From kissin’ in the cornfields to leavin’ home behind
Cadillacs and county lines
[Verse 3]
Jenny’s black boots on the torn-up carpet
Her perfume cut through that gasoline
Her laugh got loud when the road got bumpy
Moonlight dancin’ on the hood like a silver screen
[Bridge]
Sold that car for a wedding ring payment
Thought I grew up when I let it go (oh yeah)
Now I pass that farm and I swear I hear it
Gravel poppin’ under whitewalls in my soul
[Chorus]
Cadillacs and county lines
Windows down
Radio kind of out of time
Four bald tires and a backseat sky
Haulin’ every broken heart I ever had to drive
Cadillacs and county lines
That old steel frame still holdin’ my life
From kissin’ in the cornfields to leavin’ home behind
Cadillacs and county lines
