Well, he wanted someone firmer and he wanted someone younger
And he always had a thing for blondes
As it happened, his new secretary
Happened to be all that rolled into oneAnd the woman who had lived with him
An angel who had given him
The last twenty two years
Is now cryin' big Cadillac tearsCadillac tears, don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears, she ain't so sadWell, she might a lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No, mama didn't do too bad
Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tearsWell, she's runnin' through his money so fast it isn't funny
Aw, she's emptied every shop in town
Oh, she bought 'em Akin diamond rings
And lots of other shiny things to wear when she goes steppin' outAnd she's headed to her lawyers
'Cause this mornin' when he called her
He said, "Checks are pillin' up down here"
Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tearsCadillac tears, don't hurt so bad
Cadillac tears, she ain't so sadWell, she might a lost her wedding ring
But she took him for everything
No, mama didn't do too bad
Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tearsHey man, she's crusin' down the street
With custom wheels and leather seats
You know, she gets a new one every year
Aw, she's cryin' big Cadillac tearsMama is cryin' big Cadillac tears
Big old Cadillac tears
