Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac 
                          Em

In a long one, shiny black

Well they say you got to work real hard 
        C                       G 
Just to get the things that you want 
     C 
Some things are so far out of reach 
         D 
And it's tough enough on what you got 
      Em 
But I know I'll never be rich and fat

Down that last, lonely mile
