Girl, you taught me how to hurt real bad, cried myself to sleep
Showed me how this town shatters dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool
Who came to battle on
And found out that battle tastes so sweet
Now if the guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Along the streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of laws
Wasted lights
Ain't no scarred laws left in me
Oh, but thank you, girl, for teaching me
Brand new ways to live

Brand new ways to be true
If I can find my now, I guess I'll just leave
And if the guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Along the streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of laws
Now if the guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Along the streets that I call home
Ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of laws

Yeah, my guitar's a Cadillac
And Billy music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
you
