G
He's Cadillac Jack Favor and the name rings true,
C7
if he's got a ride any stranger would, too,
G
the one bad habit that his Ponder would say
D
is sure gonna put him through the trials one day.
G
And that's just what happened, he took pity on two men,
C7
heading down to Louisiana, he stopped and let them in,
G
and the thanks he did for helping them
DG
would make him wish he was busting broncs again.
CG
He dropped them off in Bossieer City where they met up with a man,
FD
that vagabond commitee barely even had a plan.
GC
It was just a simple robbery turned double homicide,
GDG
they got away with murder, it'd be someone else's hide.
G
Almost two years come and gone, they never solved that crime,
C7
'til they found one of our vagabonds already doing time,
G
when that jailbird started singing, they all knew the words were wrong,
D
but the sheriff and the DA and the judge all sang along.
G
They pinned it on Jack Favor, gave him life without parole
C7
gave Jack's freedom to the jailbird, payment on the lies he told,
GDG
just so happens that election year everybody paid out at the polls.
C7G
Cadillac's no fallen hero, and he's never gonna break,
FD
when it comes to prison rodeo, there'll be no easy eight.
GC
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame,
GDG
it'd be in the dictionary underneath Jack Favor's name.

Cadillac's no fallen hero, and he's never gonna break,
FD
when it comes to prison rodeo, there's still no easy eight.
GC
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame,
GDG
it'd be in the dictionary underneath Jack Favor's name.
G
Yeah, it's the world's most crooked picture,
C
and when it comes to being framed,
GDG
Cadillac Jack Favor should be in the hall of fame.
