Always Drive A Cadillac Lyrics - Everly Brothers

It was the Senior High School yearbook 

The class of '63 

I'll never forget the day you gave 

Your book and pen to me 

It was all talked out and settled 

You knew I'd understand 

A girl with dreams as big as yours 

Just had to make some plans 

So I turned to your best picture 

Most Likely To Succeed 

The only one in the whole damn book 

That didn't show you with me 

And it said that you liked inner strength 

So I tried to be true to form 

And I hid my teenaged broken heart 

And instead I signed this poem

I hope you always drive a Cadillac 

I hope you always drink champagne 

I hope you always shine with the sunshine 

I hope you never have to face the rain 

Unless the clouds are lined in silver 

May every heart you meet be gold 

And may you find the world as kind as you've been told 

All the news of you that got back home 

Was no surprise to me 

You came, you saw, you conquered 

At every turn there were victories 

And the men came and the men went 

And some of them might have stayed 

But their dreams weren't silk or linen 

And their invitations weren't engraved 

Photos 

At the ten year class reunion 

They read your personal note 

And enlarged your cover photograph 

In your full length sable coat 

But the words underneath the picture 

Were what mattered most to me 

There was something in between the lines 

That no one else could see... 

It said:- 

"I'll always drive a Cadillac 

And I'll always drink champagne 

And if you make time while the sun shines 

You never have to face the rain 

I travel fast because I go alone 

Everybody gets bought and sold" 

And I wondered if you'd really become that cold 

That was the last word anyone heard from you 

Until I got your card today 

A single line and signature 

That said, "I'm coming home to stay"; 

I wonder what life has done to you 

I wonder why you thought of me 

But if you drop by to say hello 

I wonder what you'll think if you see 

An old ragged high school yearbook 

That falls open to just one page 

With a picture of a young girl's face 

Full of beauty, dreams and rage 

And words beside the picture 

Is the verse that's still so true 

It's the one I swore no one would read 

Unless I showed it to you 

To me you'll always drive a Cadillac 

Your laughter is my champagne 

And you'll carry my heart wherever you go 

Even if I never see you again 

But if you bring it back home to me 

Maybe then it'll mean you know 

That the strongest love's the love that let's you go 

To me you'll always drive a Cadillac 

Your laughter is my champagne 

And you'll carry my heart wherever you go 

Even if I never see you again 

But if you bring it back home to me 

Maybe then it'll mean you know 

That the strongest love's the love that let's you go 

I hope you always drive a Cadillac 

I hope you always drive a Cadillac......
