[Verse 1]
[G]
It was the Senior High School yearbook
[C]
The class of '63
[G]
I'll never forget the way you gave
[C]
Your book and pen to me
[Am] [F]
It was all talked out and settled
[G] [C]
You knew I'd understand
[Am]
A girl with dreams as big as yours
[D]
Just had to make some plans
[Verse 2]
[G]
So I turned to your best picture:
[C]
"Most likely to succeed"
[G]
The only one in the whole damn book
[C]
That didn't show you with me
[Am] [F]
And it said that you liked inner strength
[G] [C]
So I tried to be true to form
[Am]
And I hid my teenage broken heart
[D]
Instead I signed this poem:
[Chorus 1]
[G]
"I hope you always drive a Cadillac
[C]
I hope you always drink champagne
[G]
I hope you always shine with the sunshine
[C]
I hope you never have to face the rain
[Am] [F]
Unless the clouds are lined with silver
[G] [Am]
May every heart you meet be gold
[F] [G] [C]
And may you find the world as kind as you've been told"
[Instrumental 1]
[C] [Am] [G]
[Verse 3]
[G]
All the news of you that got back home
[C]
Was no surprise to me
[G]
You came, you saw, you conquered
[C]
At every turn there were victories
[Am] [F]
And the men came and the men went
[G] [C]
And some of them might have stayed
[Am]
But their dreams weren't silk or linen
[D]
And their invitations weren't engraved
[Verse 4]
[G]
At the ten-year class reunion
[C]
They read your personal note
[G]
And enlarged your cover photograph
[C]
In your full-length sable coat
[Am] [F]
But the words underneath the picture
[G] [C]
Were what mattered most to me
[Am]
There was something in between the lines
[D]
That no one else could see
[Chorus 2]
[G]
It said, "I always drive a Cadillac
[C]
I always drink champagne
[G]
And if you make time while the sun shines
[C]
You can buy your way out of the rain
[Am] [F]
I travel fast because I go alone
[G] [Am]
Everybody gets bought and sold
[F] [G] [C]
And I wondered if you'd really become that cold"
[Instrumental 1]
[C] [Am] [G]
[Instrumental 2]
[F] [D#] [F] [G]
[Verse 5]
[G]
That was the last word anyone heard from you
[C]
Until I got your card today
[G]
A single line and signature
[C]
That said "I'm coming home to stay"
[Am] [F]
I wonder what life has done to you
[G] [C]
I wonder why you thought of me
[Am]
But if you stop by to say hello
[D]
I wonder what you'll think if you see
[Chorus 3]
[G]
An old ragged high school yearbook
[C]
That falls open to just one page
[G]
With a picture of a young girl's face
[C]
Full of beauty, dreams and rage
[Am] [F]
But the words underneath the picture
[G] [Am]
Is the verse that's still so true
[Am]
It's the one I swore no one would read
[D]
Unless I showed it to you
[Chorus 4]
[G]
To me, you always drive a Cadillac
[C]
Your laughter is my champagne
[G]
And you'll carry my heart wherever you go
[C]
Even if I never see you again
[Am] [F]
But if you bring it back home to me
[G] [Am]
Maybe then it'll mean you know
[F] [G] [C]
That the strongest love's the love that lets you go
[Instrumental]
[C] [Am] [G]
[Chorus 4]
[G]
To me, you always drive a Cadillac
[C]
Your laughter is my champagne
[G]
And you'll carry my heart wherever you go
[C]
Even if I never see you again
[Am] [F]
But if you bring it back home to me
[G] [Am]
Maybe then it'll mean you know
[F] [G] [C]
That the strongest love's the love that lets you go
[Outro]
[C] [Am] [G]
I hope you always drive a Cadillac
[C] [Am] [G]
I hope you always drive a Cadillac
