Shinedown - Black Cadillac Lyrics






I got a mind full of aggravation
I can take it if I just relax
I say a prayer for the motivation
Keep me solid so I stay on track
But there’s a monkey on my back
And it don’t know how to act
Got me climbin’ up and down the walls
Now I gotta make a choice
Maybe then I can rejoice
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more

So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
From a long, black Cadillac (Cadillac)

I hear the sirens of redemption
Screamin’ out like never before
And there's a roadblock in every direction
But I ain't stoppin’ ‘cause I'm in control
And there’s a monkey on my back
So I gotta set a trap
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more

So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
In a long, black Cadillac
I ain’t living in the past no more
I ain’t living in the past no more

Screaming out like never before
Screaming out like never before

(1 2, 1 2 3 4)

So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac

Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac

Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac

Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac

Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac

Shinedown Black Cadillac Comments
  1. f.... n....

    My boss at my first job had a 79 coupe de ville, black on black. To this day, it is still my dream car...

  2. R.... C....

    Jesus christ Brent's vocals in this give me chills. Same is true for most of their songs but I instantly fell in love with this one

  3. S.... ....

    Eskay boi

  4. l.... l....

    A big thanks to Eskay :)

  5. C.... t....

    Not trying to start a flame war in the comments, but am I the only one who thinks of Crowley from Good Omens when they hear this?

  6. P.... R....

    To all Shinedown this CD is awsome. Brent your voice is so smooth and words are so truthful. Can't wait to see you here in Philly pa. Or Camden New Jersey at BB&P

  7. m.... ....

    It's about respecting death 🖤

  8. B.... T....

    Not To be a downer, just here to say two years ago I lost my older brother to an overdose. The night before he reached out to me for help and I pushed it off because I was tired. It would be the last chance I ever had to help him.

    If you have a loved one who is in need and asks for help please answer them because you never know if it will be your last chance to.

    Lesson I learned is that its better to try a million times to help someone and fail than to not help someone once and never know if you could have helped them.

    B.... T....

    @Brandan Tourville I have an older brother that had a drug problem, also. I helped him all I could, even paid to bail him out of jail once...gave him money, paid his rent, bought clothes and food and begged him to stop.
    I took him to three different rehab clinics and a few hospitals. Even with all of that, HE still had to make the decision to stop on his own. And he finally did.
    This past Oct he's been 10 years clean and he seems to be doing really well.
    He did drugs for about 25 years and we expected to get the call at any time that he'd overdosed or something. Thank God that call never came. So I really do understand. I really am sorry about your brother. You could have done a million things to help your brother but it still would have been up to HIM to make the choice to stop and to live. Remember that... Take care, man...

    B.... T....

    @Wolf_At_The_Door Wow, That's actually really powerful and refreshing to hear another person's story in a similar circumstance. Im really glad to hear that he got away from it all. It's nice you helped all you could. I understand the fight it takes is hard. It makes me feel better to hear those kind of story's. Still have cousins who are working it out and I'm hoping they will.

    That being said, thank you for sharing that. Take care also and happy holidays.

    B.... T....

    @Wolf_At_The_Door Also I will remember that, makes me feel a bit better. Thanks again..

    B.... T....

    @Brandan Tourville Thanks... Happy Holidays to you, too.

    B.... T....

    What a shame, judging a life you cant change.

  12. T.... O....

    For some reason people like Threat To Survival and ATTENTION ATTENTION much less than their other albums. However, I think these two albums are much better than the older ones, which is odd because I tend to favor bands’ older music.

  13. P.... R....

    I REALLY FEEL IN LOVE WITH SONG,I JUST WISH THERE WAS A VIDEO TO GO WITH THE WORDS.

  14. L.... M....

    I told you not to be on their side, i told you what i wanted. You chose what they wanted .instead of me so i pick me like i once though you did too need you to return all that is mine and i will release you of duty. And put you to rest peacefully. I know its to much for you you have always been the weak one. Know i loved you and had nothing but respect for you . But can n longer be a risk to my crew and court. To our total abort and your no recourt. Reguards Count D. No longer in plea

    Brent Smith I must post this, it's been put on my heart to do so.. THANK YOU.This song is not complicated, but it is TRUTH and spiritual in meaning. prayer , redemption, rejoice, choice, eyes on sky, not living in the past, he's in control, no stopping, bye bye from long black cadillac .  OK here it is, no man can inter the kingdom of heaven unless he is born a second time. The old you MUST DIE, ( long black Cadillac) in order to be reborn ( redemption) this all happens in steps 1 Prayer he's at the door just waiting for you to invite him in, PRAYER, 2 set your eyes on the prize and never stop,or look back. 1: you find Christ. 2: the battle waged on you to return to your wicked past. 3 : you begin to see TRUTH GOD JESUS YAHWEY LOVE whatever you chose to call HIM. He becomes clear to you. 4: you enter the brand new heaven made just for you and people like you. REJOICE ! Brent repeats Feast your eyes on the sky say bye bye from long black Cadillac many times, because it's VERY important.  If you stop or go back you will be much worse off than before and Jesus only gave the promise for ONE rebirth...   NO ONE will make a mockery out of the ONE< that created everything and not suffer GREATLY.  so there you have it.      JESUS is very real as is his WRATH on the wicked when the time comes.   Read the bible and meditate pray for wisdom, you will see what I say is TRU  TRU .  OR do it the hard way.  CHOICE is yours.  Thank you BRENT for being a light.  My hope that atleast just one find HOPE in this post. HOLY
