Red Door on a Green Cadillac

from Down to the Well: Solo Demos Unearthed by Kevin Gordon

lyrics

Red Door on a Green Cadillac
(Kevin Gordon)

Stopped at a store in a country town
Seen a rusty Eldorado with the windows down
Pack of kids bouncin' round the backseat
One bare foot hangin out in the July heat

Guy behind the wheel looked about my age
Defeat in his eye like a dog in a cage
Radiator pissin' hot water on the ground
Hood raised up, let the motor cool down

Ridin on retreads, trying to keep the kids fed
Pull another cigarette out of the pack
Tailpipe draggin, all your hope saggin
And a red door on green Cadillac
Red door on a green Cadillac
