Buffalo Sun – Cadillac Blues lyrics

I had a woman, I had a wife
I had two children, I had a life
But the sum of true love
Was inside your hand, not mine
I had money, I had love
I had honey, I had enough
And I never lost the need
‘Till love went blind
I had a woman, I had a wife
I had two children, I had a life
And a big ol’ Cadillac
That was painted black
And the feelings she had in mind
She said, ‘my honey, I can’t find
Any other one
To take your place tonight’
I had a woman, I had a wife
I had two children, I had a life
And the sun was shining down
On me and mine
I had money, I had it fine
Had a lovin’ sacrifice
And a big ol’ Cadillac
That was painted black
I had a feeling that I would find
I had a chill it would say goodbye
And the bottom hit the fan
This time I know it’s true
But I never was scared of the losing side
I’m gonna feel love’s luck this time
And I never want to be that way with you
And I never want to be this way when loving you
I had a woman, I had a life
I had two children, I had a wife
And a big ol’ Cadillac
That was painted black
Lord Almighty, there were times that I seemed to try
When no other love sufficed
And her leavin’ Lord
Would break my grieving mind
