Tennessee Plates - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)[00:00:00]
I woke up in a hotel and I didn't know what to do[00:00:21]
I turned the tv on and wrote a letter to you[00:00:24]
The news was talkin' 'bout a dragnet up on the interstate[00:00:27]
Said they were lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates[00:00:32]
Since I left california baby things have gotten worse[00:00:41]
Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse[00:00:44]
Tell that judge in bakersfield that my trial will have to wait[00:00:47]
Down here they're lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates[00:00:52]
It was somewhere in nevada it was cold outside[00:00:55]
She was shiverin' in the dark so I offered her a ride[00:00:58]
Three bank jobs later four cars hot wired[00:01:02]
We crossed the mississippi like an oil slick fire[00:01:04]
If they'd known what we was up to they wouldn't 'a let us in[00:01:14]
When we landed in memphis like original sin[00:01:17]
Up elvis presley boulevard to the graceland gates[00:01:20]
See we were lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates[00:01:25]
Well there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage[00:01:39]
And there wasn't one lincoln and there wasn't one dodge[00:01:43]
And there wasn't one japanese model or make[00:01:46]
Just pretty pretty cadillacs with tennessee plates[00:01:51]
She saw him singing once when she was seventeen[00:01:54]
And ever since that day she's been living in between[00:01:57]
I was never king of nothin' but this wild weekend[00:02:00]
Anyway he wouldn't care hell he gave them to his friends[00:02:04]
Well this ain't no hotel I'm writin' you from[00:02:12]
It's the tennessee prison up at brushy mountain[00:02:18]
Where yours sincerely's doin' five to eight[00:02:24]
Stampin' out my time makin' tennessee plates[00:02:33]
