Text: Rosanne Cash. Black Cadillac. Black Cadillac.
Rosanna, baby come on
It was a black Cadillac drove you away
Everybody's talkin' but they don't have much to say
It was a black sky of rain none of it fell
One of us gets to go to heaven, one has to stay here in hell
Now it's a lonely world
Guess it always was
Minus you
And minus blood, my blood
It was a black Cadillac like one you used to drive
Now you were always rollin' but those wheels burn up your life
Oh, it's a black heart of pain that I'm wearin', suits me just fine
Oh, there was nothin' I could do for you when you were still alive
Yeah, it's a lonely world
Just a numbers game
Well, a hundred years
Will find me feelin' just the same
Yeah, it's a lonely world
I guess it always was
Minus you
And minus blood, my blood
