  			Intro:  (E)  (E)  (E)  (E) 
 
When I (E) laid eyes on her that's when I knew 
To win her love, there's nothing I wouldn't do 
(A) Talkin' to her, all that seemed to give her a thrill 
Were (E) Fleetwoods, ElDorados, and Coup Devilles 
Well, I (C#m) might've stretched the truth, just a tiny bit 
When I (A) told her that I had one with the (B) Continental kit 
 
Well, (A) I don't steal, but I've been known to borrow 
To(E)night we've been rollin' like there's no tomorrow 
She's (B) cuddlin' up close - rubbin' my back 
Doin' a little this - doin' a little that 
Sure gonna hate to have to sneak it back 
Cause, we've been (A) ridin' 'round in someone else's Cadillac   
 
(E)  (E)  (E)  (E) 
 
Got my (E) Uncle Willie's watch and my daddy's money clip 
My cousin Bubba's black boots, with the gold and silver tips 
She's (A) purrin' like a kitten, I'm the cat's meow 
Gonna (E) trade a week's pay for a night on the town 
(C#m) How can I tell her, what she don't know 
When she's (A) sittin' here thinkin' I'm the (B) King Of The Road 
 
Well, (A) I don't steal, but I've been known to borrow 
To(E)night we've been rollin' like there's no tomorrow 
She's (B) cuddlin' up close - rubbin' my back 
Doin' a little this - doin' a little that 
Sure gonna hate to have to sneak it back 
Cause, we've been (A) ridin' 'round in someone else's Cadillac

We were (C#m) in the backseat parked under the stars 
When I (A) saw the blue lights of that (B) police car 
 
Hey now officer, (A) I don't steal, but I've been known to borrow 
To(E)night we've been rollin' like there's no tomorrow 
She's (B) cuddlin' up close - rubbin' my back 
Doin' a little this - doin' a little that 
Sure gonna hate to have to sneak it back 
Cause, we've been (A) ridin' 'round in someone else's Cadillac
