Rust and Chrome

Verse 1

Rust

Heavy red rust

Eating through the floor

Gasoline fumes filling up my head

I got a wrench

I got a rag

I got a heavy habit and a canvas bag

Thick black grease under every fingernail

Chorus

Big black Cadillac

Big black Cadillac

Ripping through the gravel

Never coming back

Big black Cadillac

Verse 2

Stolen

I found it stolen

Down by the river bend

Windows smashed out like broken teeth

Grinning

Cold steel grinning

Engine sounds like a war

Busted radiator dripping on the floor

Chrome is peeling away

Chorus

Big black Cadillac

Big black Cadillac

Ripping through the gravel

Never coming back

Big black Cadillac

Bridge

Floor it

Floor it

Floor it

Cylinders screaming for mercy

Tires burning up the night

Hundred miles an hour

Nothing left to lose

No brakes

No heat

No road left to travel

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Empty

Tank is empty

Rolling to a dead stop

Smoke rising from the cracked block

I walk

I run

I hide from the sun

Leaving that beast in the ditch

Tearing out the stitches

Chorus

Big black Cadillac

Big black Cadillac

Ripping through the gravel

Never coming back

Big black Cadillac

Outro

Let it burn

Let it rot

Let it rust

Big black Cadillac

Left in the dust

Left in the dust
