Well, he wanted someone firmer And he wanted someone younger And he always had a thing for blondes As it happened his new secretary Happened to be all that rolled into one And the woman who had lived with him An angel who had given him the last 22 years Is now cryin' big Cadillac tears Chorus: Cadillac tears, don't hurt so bad Cadillac tears, she ain't so sad... Well, she might of lost her wedding ring But she took him for everything No, momma didn't do too bad Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tears Well, she's runnin' through his money So fast it isn't funny Aw, she's emptied every shop in town Aw, she bought a mink and diamond rings And lots of other shiny things To wear when she goes steppin' out And she's headin' to her lawyer's Cause this mornin' when he called her He said checks are pilin' up down here Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tears Chorus Yeah, man, she's cruisin' down the street With custom wheels and leather seats You know she gets a new one every year Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tears Momma's cryin' big Cadillac tears... Big ol' Cadillac tears...
