Time Bomb

If you wanna make a move then you better come in

It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin

Living and dying and the stories that are true

Secret to a good lifes knowing when you're through

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Well he's back in the hole where they got him living

Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives

Like a cat, fifteen years old take him to the youth authority home

First thing you learn, you got to make it in this world alone

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Now he's gotten out, he gotten free, he got a coat, got a car

He's twenty-one years old, he's running numbers from the bar

His pager's beeping, he's getting deep in

Whatever he can move on in, you know that kid's a-creeping

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

The boy's a time bomb

The boy's a time bomb

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye

His mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough to die

He's rolling in the Cadillac, it's midnight sunroof is down

Three shots rung out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Time bomb
