In the darker part of twilight there’s a shape that looms at the horizon
There comes a dusty red car ready to be stealing the silence
Her boots click through the diner, he is there, a man that they call ‘wanted’
Handsome as the heavens, dark eyed, big and strong
She knew all along
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
Raging Cadillac
Why does she wear black
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
She is out to make a wreck
Stealing, drinking, threats he did it all. He and Bobby Carper
From Dallas up to Kansas was theirs, she was the next thing to conquer
She said: ‘Go on boy, I’m yours, take me home and I’ll get you some’
She got him some for sure, she took his brand new car
And she hit the road
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
Raging Cadillac
Why does she wear black
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
She is out to make a wreck
In the lighter part of twilight he's laying low
Hungover and sour he hears a loud [knock] at the door
They told him after all those years these shackles they are yours
And outside stood his Cadillac, smothered in Bobby Carpers blood
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
Raging Cadillac
Why does she wear black
Raging Cadillac
Leaving the track
She is gone to never come back
