Earl's Dead - Cadillac for Sale - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]

Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale[00:00:17]

An Eldorado sits out on the Tamiami Trail[00:00:21]

Sign on the windshield tells the whole tale[00:00:25]

Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale[00:00:30]

He was a circus man when they first met[00:00:40]

He was fired from a cannon into a net[00:00:44]

The money was good he always hit the bullseye[00:00:49]

Savin' for the car one day he would buy[00:00:53]

No he wasn't thinkin' of some average ride[00:01:01]

A human cannonball has a lot of pride[00:01:05]

If you're gonna live large you need a hydramatic[00:01:09]

Eldorado Biarritz for this wild acrobatic[00:01:14]

And Earl's is red with shark-like fins[00:01:22]

And that is where this little love tale begins[00:01:26]

The rear view mirror puts it all in scale[00:01:31]

Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale[00:01:39]

She was an Everglades girl partly Seminole[00:01:46]

With an urge for goin' and a wanderin' soul[00:01:51]

With a name like Moonvine she knew she'd never stay[00:01:55]

That handsome human bullet stole her heart away[00:01:59]

It was a Saturday night after the midnight show[00:02:08]

She was starin' at the car when he said "hello"[00:02:12]

Didn't take too much to move her off the reservation[00:02:16]

Just a good lookin' boy with the right transportation[00:02:20]

And now Earl is wed Moonvine's got her veil[00:02:29]

They're towin' that cannon down the Tamiami Trail[00:02:33]

He's got the talent she's got brains[00:02:38]

Earl and Moonvine left the land of sugar cane[00:02:42]

So they drove down to Panama and back up to Maine[00:02:53]

Had so much fun hell they did it again[00:02:57]

Crossing cities off the map as they shot down the road[00:03:01]

Knowin' towin' a cannon things could explode[00:03:06]

Now a Cadillac was always an Elvis thing[00:03:38]

Polished chrome and gold it was the birth of bling[00:03:42]

They came with personality they made you a star[00:03:47]

God may have made the earth[00:03:51]

But man made that car[00:03:53]

Now all the way back to the time of James Dean[00:04:02]

Car crash songs chewed up heroes and machines[00:04:06]

Sick minds stop signs and uncontrolled swerves[00:04:10]

But Early and his Caddy could handle killer curves[00:04:14]

So when the big top folded Early took his last drive[00:04:22]

Moonvine kissed her boy goodbye his exit had arrived[00:04:26]

She shot his ashes 'cross the Gulf from that ancient rusty gun[00:04:31]

Nomads know when the show is done[00:04:35]

And Earl's dead he's been airmailed[00:04:43]

And that Eldorado's waitin' on the Tamiami Trail[00:04:48]

For some shameless entertainer to blow in like a gale[00:04:52]

Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale[00:05:00]

Earl's dead Earl's dead[00:05:19]
