Well, he wanted someone firmer and he wanted someone younger
And he always had a thing for blondes
As it happened, his new secretary happened to be all that rolled into one
And the woman who had lived with him, an angel who had given him
The last twenty two years
Is now cryin' big Cadillac tears

Cadillac tears, don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears, she ain't so sad
Well, she mighta lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No, mama 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
Aw, she's emptied every shop in town
Oh, she bought a Macon diamond rings and lots of other shiny things to wear when she goes steppin' out
And she's headed to her lawyers 'cause this morning when he called her
He said, "Checks are pilin' up down here"
Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tears

Cadillac tears, don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears, she ain't so sad
Well, she mighta lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No, mama didn't do too bad
Aw, she's crying big Cadillac tears

Hey man, she's cruisin' down the street with custom wheels and leather seats
You know, she gets a new one every year
Aw, she's crying big Cadillac tears

Well that girl is cryin' big Cadillac tears
Big old Cadillac tears
