[00:40.69]He was a circus man when they first met [00:44.87]He was fired from a cannon into a net [00:49.05]The money was good he always hit the bullseye [00:53.74]Savin' for the car one day he would buy [00:59.05]. [01:01.68]No, he wasn't thinkin' of some average ride [01:05.87]A human cannonball has a lot of pride [01:09.99]If you're gonna live large you need a hydramatic [01:14.49]Eldorado Biarritz for this wild acrobatic [01:20.55]. [01:22.81]And Earl's is red with shark-like fins [01:26.80]And that is where this little love tale begins [01:31.68]The rear view mirror puts it all in scale [01:39.36]Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale [01:43.85]. [01:46.98]She was an Everglades girl, partly Seminole [01:51.16]With an urge for goin', and a wanderin' soul [01:55.62]With a name like Moonvine she knew she'd never stay [01:59.75]That handsome human bullet stole her heart away [02:05.08]. [02:08.02]It was a Saturday night after the midnight show [02:12.03]She was starin' at the car when he said "hello" [02:16.25]Didn't take too much to move her off the reservation [02:20.80]Just a good lookin' boy with the right transportation [02:26.87]. [02:29.05]And now Earl is wed, Moonvine's got her veil [02:33.37]They're towin' that cannon down the Tamiami Trail [02:38.25]He's got the talent, she's got brains [02:42.99]Earl and Moonvine, left the land of sugar cane [02:50.21]. [02:53.59]So they drove down to Panama and back up to Maine [02:57.48]Had so much fun, hell, they did it again [03:01.54]Crossing cities off the map as they shot down the road [03:06.04]Knowin' towin' a cannon, things could explode [03:12.85]. [03:38.80]Now a Cadillac was always an Elvis thing [03:42.88]Polished chrome and gold it was the birth of bling [03:47.14]They came with personality they made you a star [03:51.10]God may have made the earth [03:53.65]But man made that car [03:57.59]. [04:02.24]Now all the way back to the time of James Dean [04:06.35]Car crash songs chewed up heroes and machines [04:10.36]Sick minds, stop signs and uncontrolled swerves [04:14.53]But Early and his Caddy could handle killer curves [04:19.96]. [04:22.66]So when the big top folded, Early took his last drive [04:26.91]Moonvine kissed her boy goodbye, his exit had arrived [04:31.04]She shot his ashes 'cross the Gulf from that ancient rusty gun [04:35.73]Nomads know when the show is done [04:40.86]. [04:43.98]And Earl's dead, he's been airmailed [04:48.01]And that Eldorado's waitin' on the Tamiami Trail [04:52.27]For some shameless entertainer to blow in like a gale [05:00.43]Earl's dead – Cadillac for sale [05:15.99] [05:19.49]Earl's dead, Earl's dead [05:26.40]
