He's Cadillac Jack Favor
|
And the name rings true
|
If he's got a ride
|
Any stranger would, too
|
The one bad habit
|
That his father would say
|
Is sure gonna put him
|
Through the trials one day
|
|
And that's just what happened
|
He took pity on two men
|
Heading down to Louisiana
|
He stopped and let them in
|
And the things he did
|
For helping them
|
Would make him wish
|
He was busting broncs again
|
|
He dropped them off in Boyser City
|
Where they met up with a man
|
That vagabond comittee barely
|
Even had a plan
|
It was just a simple robbery
|
Turned double homicide
|
They got away with murder
|
It'd be someone else's hide
|
|
Almost two years come and gone
|
They never solved that crime
|
'Til they found one of our vagabonds
|
Already doing time
|
When that jailbird started singing
|
They all knew the words were wrong
|
But the sheriff and the DA
|
And the judge all sang along
|
|
They pinned it on Jack Favor
|
Gave him life without parole
|
Gave Jack's freedom to the jailbird
|
Payment on the lies he told
|
It just so happens that election year
|
Everybody payed out at the polls
|
|
Cadillac's no fallen hero
|
And he's never gonna break
|
When it comes to prison rodeo
|
There ain't no easy eight
|
And if you want the definition
|
Of the picture-perfect frame
|
It'd be in the dictionary
|
Underneath Jack Favor's name
|
|
Yeah, it's the world's most crooked picture
|
And when it comes to being framed
|
Cadillac Jack Favor should be in the
|
