https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmKgc6T_Aec Producer: Roger Davies Producer: Tony Joe White Composer Lyricist: Tony Joe White Released on: 1998-01-01 [Intro] [Verse 1] Living down in Memphis, back in '75, we were scuffling hard just barely staying alive, money's kind of scarce when you're just an opening act, last thing on my mind was a Fleetwood Cadillac. [Verse 2] We were cruising downtown just on a Sunday drive, I looked out on a car lot and something caught my eye: it was Baby Blue, had a rolls royce grill, a continental kit and silver spokes on the wheels. I put some money down and I told the man I would be back, I knew I had to have that Fleetwood Cadillac. [Solo] [Verse 3] I drove it up to Nashville, I was feeling kinda proud but the billies: said it's gaudy, just too loud. That's all right, I was willing to take a little flak, you do what you must do for a Fleetwood Cadillac. [Interlude] [Verse 4] It was just too long, wouldn't fit in my garage, Uncle Sam was in the distance and it was not a mirage, said he needed money for some previous income tax, oh, I had to let it go but now I want my Fleetwood back. [Solo] [Verse 4] The new Cadillacs, it's hard to even tell 'em, the colors ain't too cool and they're shaped like a watermelon; if they give me one I don't think I would even react, one thing on my mind: I want my Fleetwood back.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les souvenirs nostalgiques d'un homme qui, dans les années 70 à Memphis, lutte pour joindre les deux bouts en tant qu'artiste. Bien qu'il soit confronté à des difficultés financières, il tombe amoureux d'une magnifique Cadillac Fleetwood qu'il rêve d'acquérir. Après avoir réussi à l'acheter, il se vante de sa fierté de posséder ce symbole de réussite. Cependant, des circonstances imprévues, comme des dettes fiscales, l'obligent à se séparer de sa voiture bien-aimée. Maintenant, il ressent un profond désir de retrouver cette Cadillac qui représentait tant pour lui, se plaignant des nouvelles voitures qui, selon lui, manquent de caractère. C’est une belle métaphore de la perte et du désir d'un temps révolu.
