[Verse 1] A rusty, broken Cadillac. [Verse 2] The heavy duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 3] The stolen gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 4] The loaded pistol painted black, Guarding the gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 5] The runaway named One-Eyed Jack, Holding the pistol painted black, Guarding the gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 6] The local sheriff's wild attack, Chasing the runaway named Jack, Holding the pistol painted black, Guarding the gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 7] The barking of the bloodhound pack, Leading the sheriff's wild attack, Chasing the runaway named Jack, Holding the pistol painted black, Guarding the gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac. [Verse 8] The midnight train upon the track, Blocking the barking bloodhound pack, Leading the sheriff's wild attack, Chasing the runaway named Jack, Holding the pistol painted black, Guarding the gold they need to track, Stashed in the duffel in the back, Left in the rusty Cadillac!
