We he wanted someone firmer
And he wanted someone younger
And he always had a thing for blondes
As it happened his new secratery happened to be
All of that rolled into one
And the woman who had lived with him
And angel who had given him the last 22 years
Is now crying big Cadillac tears
Cadillac Tears don't hurt so bad
Cadillac Tears she ain't so sad
Well she might have lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No momma didn't do too bad
Aw she's crying big Cadillac Tears
Well she's runnin' through his money
So fast it isn't funny
And she's emptied every shop in town
She bought a mink and diamond rings
And lots of other shiny things
To wear when she goes stepping out
And she's headed to her lawyers
'Cause this morning when he called he
He said cheques are piling up here
Aw she's crying big Cdillac tears
Yeah she's crusin' down the street
With custom wheels and leather seats
You know she gets a new one every year
Aw she's cryin' big Cadillac Tears
Momma is cryin' big Cadillac Tears
Big old Cadillac Tears
