If you wanna make the move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowing when you're through
Black coat, white shoes, Black hat, Cadillac the boy's a time bomb
(×2 times)
He's back in the hole where they got him living
Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
Like a cat take him to the youth authority home
First thing you learn is you got to make it in this world alone
Black coat, white shoes, Black hat, Cadillac the boy's a time bomb
(×2 times)
Now he's gotten out he's gotten free he's gotta go gotta car
21 years old he's runnin' from the bar
His pager's beepin' he's getting deep in
Whatever he can move on in you know that kids are creepin'
Black coat, white shoes, Black hat, Cadillac the boy's a time bomb
(×2 times)
Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye
His mother cries she knows that he is strong enough to die
He's rollin' in the Cadillac it's midnight sunroof is down
Three shots rung out the herd's deal the new king is crowned
Black coat, white shoes, Black hat, Cadillac the boy's a time bomb
(×4 times)
