Just a Midnight Ride

from Dust Windows by Kingsley Flood

lyrics

I got me a Cadillac, and it’s real nice. It’s real nice.
I keep it out front and not out back. I like the shine. I like the shine.

These days my bed is so big, but I like it that way. I like it that way.
Her toothbrush still sits in the sink, and there it stays. There it stays.

But oh Miss Marie, won’t you come outside? I’ve been around, I know the water’s dry. The key’s in the ignition and it feels real nice.
Oh, just a midnight ride.

These days my days are free. It didn’t work out, it hardly does.
I wait in line for a check or three. I can’t sit down, I won’t stand up.

I once had me a puppy dog, but I let him ride. I let him ride.
I tried but he never talked. He wouldn’t stay inside. He wouldn’t stay inside.

But oh Miss Marie, won’t you come outside? I’ve been around, I know the water’s dry. The key’s in the ignition and it feels real nice. Oh, just a midnight ride.

I got me a Cadillac, and it’s real nice. It’s real nice.
I keep it out front and not out back. I like the shine. I like the shine.
