Tennessee Plates - Mark Collie[00:00:00]
I woke up in a hotel [00:00:08]
Didn't know what to do[00:00:17]
I turned the TV on [00:00:18]
Wrote a letter to you[00:00:19]
The news was talkin' 'bout[00:00:21]
A dead man upon the interstate[00:00:22]
Seems they were lookin'[00:00:24]
For a Cadillac with Tennessee plates[00:00:27]
Well since I left California [00:00:32]
Baby things have gotten worse[00:00:36]
Seems the land of opportunity[00:00:38]
For me is just a curse[00:00:40]
Tell that judge in Bakersfield[00:00:41]
My trial'll have to wait[00:00:42]
Down here they're lookin'[00:00:44]
For a Cadillac with Tennessee plates[00:00:48]
It was somewhere in Nevada [00:00:50]
It was cold outside[00:00:51]
She was shiverin' in the dark [00:00:53]
So I offered her a ride[00:00:54]
Three bank jobs later [00:00:56]
Four cars hot wired[00:00:57]
We crossed the Mississippi[00:00:59]
Like an oil slick fire[00:01:00]
Now if they'd known what we was[00:01:08]
Up to they wouldn't let us in[00:01:10]
And now we landed[00:01:12]
In Memphis like original sin[00:01:13]
Elvis Presley Boulevard[00:01:15]
To the Graceland gates[00:01:16]
See we were lookin' for a Cadillac[00:01:18]
With Tennessee plates[00:01:22]
Well there must have been a dozen[00:01:35]
Of them parked in that garage[00:01:36]
There wasn't one Lincoln[00:01:38]
And there wasn't one Dodge[00:01:39]
There wasn't one[00:01:40]
Japanese model or make[00:01:42]
Just pretty pretty Cadillacs[00:01:44]
With Tennessee plates[00:01:48]
She saw him singing once[00:01:49]
When she was seventeen[00:01:51]
And ever since that day[00:01:53]
She's been living in between[00:01:54]
I was never king of nothin'[00:01:56]
But this wild weekend[00:01:57]
Anyway he wouldn't care [00:01:59]
Hell he gave them to his friends[00:02:00]
This ain't no hotel [00:02:02]
I'm writin' you from[00:02:09]
Now it's a Tennessee[00:02:10]
Prison up at Brushy Mountain[00:02:15]
Where yours sincerely's[00:02:17]
Doin' five to eight[00:02:21]
I'm just stampin' out my[00:02:23]
Time makin' Tennessee plates[00:02:30]
