About This Song


This song was one of those rare writes where we didn't know where it was going when we started, but I started playing a groove, and "Old man's Cadillac" set the tone. I usually like a stronger hook, but this ended up with a great feel, so we kept it.

Feedback Requested


Please let me know what you think! I'm writing in Nashville w/other artists and to pitch. Obviously this isn't a studio quality recording, but all input is always welcome.

George, it’s def. catchy. Wondering if it’s possible to see the lyrics to this one? I almost think you could crank it right up! Give it a cool Cadillac Three sort of sound. Thoughts?

Someone else mentioned wanting to hear it w/a full band; interesting idea, Dennis. I may have to try that out!

Old man's Cadillac
Busted speakers in the back
Purse flying off the dash
Goin' Richard Petty fast

Thrift store suitcase
Hair blowin' in her face
Flyin' down a two-lane
Weekend runaways

We roll the windows down
Skip town without a sound
Get lost and never found
Livin' free and easy
We live a gypsy life
Burn bright, stay up all night
Say it's wrong but feels so right
Livin' free and easy

Rock and country
FM junkies
Levi's jeans
Sippin' Exxon slurpees

Speed limit's posted
We never notice
Gettin' where we're goin'
Livin' wide open

CHORUS

DOWN
We roll the windows down
Skip town without a sound
