Story Behind The Song
I was on Maui many years ago washing my boyfriend's gold Cadillac and this song was born. I had one of those kareoke machines in the house that we'd found at a garage sale, and everytime I'd think of a new line I'd run into the house and record it, then

Lyrics
When everything around me starts to lookin' the same
And I can't tell the front from the back
When I'm thinking that the world has lost all of its charm
I just look at my baby in his gold Cadillac
Gold Cadillac yea gold Cadillac
My baby says it all in his gold Cadillac
Gold Cadillac yea gold Cadillac
My baby says it all in his gold Cadillac
The designer on the TV tells us how we should dress
But the dress looks like a gunny sack
When I'm thinking everybody does what they're told to do
I just look at my baby in his gold Cadillac
Gold Cadillac yea gold Cadillac
My baby says it all in his gold Cadillac... (2x)
Every picture tells a story and its getting to be
That the picture's either white or it's black
When I'm thinking no one anymore is painting the town
I just look at my baby in his gold Cadillac
Gold Cadillac yea gold Cadillac... (4x)
