    Lyrics »

I started two months back
Saving all my money
Gonna rent a Cadillac
And a suit with a vest, oh honey
You'll be proud to be by my side
If that don't make you happy
You can't say I didn't try
No you can't say I didn't try.

Shake out your fancy clothes
Shake out the night with celebration
'Cause in the mornin' back the Cadillac goes
So dress for the lights and brace yourself
Oh darlin', I'll be right by your side
If that don't make you happy
You can't say I didn't try
No, you can't say I didn't try.

Mama get ready
Mama get ready, Mama get ready
'Cause your Daddy
Is taking you out tonight
Turn those night lights up bright
Like two eagles in flight
We're gonna soar til the morning light
Shoots us down.

I've got a fifty dollar bill
I'm gonna flash at every waiter
Dress up fit to kill
Wear my patent-leather alligator shoes
Gonna take you for a ride Mama
If that don't make you happy
Can't say I didn't try
No, you can't say I didn't try
