John Entwistle - Big Black Cadillac Lyrics

(J. Entwistle)

Track Music, Inc.



I was walking down the sidewalk

With my coat strung over my back

When a car pulled up beside me

A big black Cadillac

A man said, son have you seen a man with a gun

He's got a scar across his eye

Looks a little like me, a real mean one



I said, sir I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all

I said, sir I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all



He said, son if you're lying

You'll never leave this town alive

Gonna fit you concrete overshoes

And you're gonna take a dive



(Drum solo)



The car pulled away and I ran off

So afraid I wanted to cry

When a man jumped out of the doorway

He had a scar across his eye

He said, son have you seen a big black Cadillac

With a man in the front looks a bit like me

And two more in the back



I said, sir I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all

I said, sir I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all



He said, son if you're lying

You'll never leave this town

Wherever you run, I'll find you

And then I'll gun you down



(Bass Solo)



He ran one way and I ran the other

Nearly bit clean through my lip

When I bumped into a policeman

With a six-gun on his hip

He said, son have you seen a big black Cadillac

With one man in the front and two more in the back

Or a man with a scar



I said, I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all

I said, stop I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all

I said, stop I ain't seen nothing

I ain't seen nothing at all

I said, stop I ain't seen nothing

I don't want to get involved
