Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Elvis Cadillac

Wrote a letter to my father

I thought I'd tell him where I am

I knew that he was hoping

I'd come home again

I'm standing in the doorway

But I'm happy living here

Everybody always tries so hard

To sing a song no one can hear

And yes, my heart was broken

Yeah but I made it through the night

Little Janis Joplin she's got a job on the corner bar

So I guess where doing alright

I got used to all that swimming

I said come on in the water's fine

And I know you don't remember me

But I've seen you, seen you many times

Yes my heart was opened

No, no I don't look back

Because I'm riding around heaven

In Elvis Cadillac

Riding around in heaven

In Elvis Cadillac

Yes my heart was opened

And no, I never look back

Hey, I'm riding around heaven

In my Elvis cadillac

Riding around in heaven

In Elvis Cadillac

In Elvis Cadillac
