Cadillac
Stone Gossard Lyrics

I don't know if I can tame her
Uncertainty if the singer can control or manage the subject.

Cadillac, I'll be truest one
The singer will remain loyal and faithful to the subject, who is a Cadillac car.

She's the one why I've been waiting
The car is the object of the singer’s anticipation and desire.

Cadillac, you'll be my only one
The artist’s devotion to the car, claiming they’ll have no other car besides the Cadillac.

Cadillac, she glides along
The car moves effortlessly, akin to how the artist glides through life with it.

Like a Cadillac, my only one
Reiterating the singer’s love for their Cadillac.

All the men are tailgating
Other males are pursuing the Cadillac, in the hope of winning it over as the singer did.

Cadillac, I'll be a truest love
The artist promises their loyalty to the car, which feels like a lover.

I just hope their brakes aren't failing
The artist expresses concern for the car, hoping other men’s neglect will not cause its deterioration.

Cadillac, I hope our love's the one
Affection for the Cadillac, hoping their fondness for the car lasts forever.

Cadillac, boy she's a Cadillac
The Cadillac is an exquisite car, worthy of admiration.

Down, down, down, down
Repetition possibly indicating the car’s motion on the road.

She tells me I'm her all-time favorite
The singer believes the car appreciates them, enjoying being driven and cared for by them.

Don't drag my heart across the pavement
The singer is asking the car not to be hard on them or cause them pain and heartbreak.

Cadillac, she glides along
Reiteration of the carefree ride one experiences while driving the fancy Cadillac.

Like a Cadillac, my only one
Additional praise and devotion shown towards the Cadillac.

She's a Cadillac, boy she's a Cadillac [Repeat: x3]
Repetitive praise highlighting the car’s status as being the best and most significant vehicle for the artist.
