White Cadillac (Ode to Ronnie Hawkins) - The Band

This leg is long as a Georgia pine

Rollin' Mississippi levee on my mind today

But it’s so far away.

Sedan DeVille, what a ride brand new

Four barrel wide open but you better pull over, boys

He’s comin' on through.

Headin' up North, we’re leavin' stills behind

The kids are wide-eyed

I know everybody wants to ride.

Big white Cadillac

I hope somebody’s got my back, boy

Wheels burnin' on the rim 'cause we’re closin' in We’re gonna rock this town again.

Red knuckles smashin' on them rockin' 88's

Strings breakin', sticks flyin' every which a way

Man, ain’t that something, the big doghouse thumpin'.

Camel walk, back flip, mohair what a touch

Who needs the King thank you, thank you very much

Ain’t Yonge Street lucky, I know they are in Memphis and Kentucky.

But Little Rock, Newport, Oklahoma, New York

The kids are wide-eyed

I know everybody wants to ride.

Big white Cadillac

I hope somebody’s got my back, boy

Wheels burnin' on the rim 'cause we’re closin' in We’re gonna rock this town again.

Big white Cadillac

I hope somebody’s got my back, boy

Wheels burnin' on the rim 'cause we’re closin' in We’re gonna rock this town again.

Oh my my, it looks like the fix is in The trap is set, the secret’s kept

The fire’s burnin', the wheels are turnin'

We got to go before the smoke starts clearin'.

Big white Cadillac

I hope somebody’s got my back, boy

Wheels burnin' on the rim 'cause we’re closin' in We’re gonna rock this town again.

Big white Cadillac

I hope somebody’s got my back, boy

Wheels burnin' on the rim 'cause we’re closin' in.

Big white Cadillac

Big white Cadillac

Big white Cadillac.
