earl's dead - cadillac for sale

an eldorado sits out on the tamiami trail

sign on the windshield tells the whole tale

earl's dead - cadillac for sale

he was a circus man when they first met

he was fired from a cannon into a net

the money was good he always hit the bullseye

savin' for the car one day he would buy

no

he wasn't thinkin' of some average ride

a human cannonball has a lot of pride

if you're gonna live large you need a hydramatic

eldorado biarritz for this wild acrobatic

and earl's is red with shark-like fins

and that is where this little love tale begins

the rear view mirror puts it all in scale

earl's dead - cadillac for sale

she was an everglades girl

partly seminole

with the urge for goin'

and a wanderin' soul

with a name like moonvine she knew she'd never stay

that handsome human bullet stole her heart away

it was a saturday night after the midnight show

she was starin' at the car when he said hello"
