Tennessee Plates歌詞

[00:25.00]I woke up in a hotel and I didnt know what to do
[00:29.00]I turned the tv on and wrote a letter to you
[00:31.30]The news was talkin bout a dragnet up on the interstate
[00:36.50]Said they were lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates
[00:46.55]Since I left california baby, things have gotten worse
[00:50.00]Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse
[00:53.00]Tell that judge in bakersfield that my trial will have to wait
[00:58.30]Down here theyre lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates
[01:01.30]It was somewhere in nevada, it was cold outside
[01:05.05]She was shiverin in the dark, so I offered her a ride
[01:09.00]Three bank jobs later, four cars hot wired
[01:12.00]We crossed the mississippi like an oil slick fire
[01:20.50]If they‘d known what we was up to they wouldn’t a let us in
[01:24.00]When we landed in memphis like original sin
[01:27.00]Up elvis presley boulevard to the graceland gates
[01:32.40]See we were lookin for a cadillac with tennessee plates
[01:48.40]Well, there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage
[01:52.00]And there wasn’t one lincoln and there wasn’t one dodge
[01:55.00]And there wasn’t one japanese model or make
[02:00.30]Just pretty, pretty cadillacs with tennessee plates
[02:04.00]She saw him singing once when she was seventeen
[02:07.30]And ever since that day she’s been living in between
[02:10.45]I was never king of nothing but this wild weekend
[02:13.45]Anyway he wouldnt care, hell he gave them to his friends
[02:34.55]Well this ain’t no hotel I’m writin you from
[02:41.00]It’s the tennessee prison up at brushy mountain
[02:47.45]Where yours sincerelys do in five to eight
[02:56.00]The stamp out my time making tennessee plates
