what she don’t know is gonna hurt somebody
what she ain’t got is gonna break the bank
when she says drive your cadillac slow and steady
you’re gonna drive your cadillac slow and steady

she left your love of god and country far behind
that competition ain’t got the resources or the time enough
to catch your eye or somehow change your mind, change your mind

what she don’t say is the same old story
what you don’t say is familiar news
what you might have had in mind got complicated
and bent into the shape of something that she can use

a hundred years, the same old story
a hundred times, familiar scene
a hundred wars for love and truth and glory
one woman walkin’ slow to show you what it means

she left your love of god and country far behind
did you give your heart and then run out of time
was there a moment when you could change your mind?
could you change your mind?
