And I've surely fell
Down at the Cadillac hotel
Oh, just think if these walls could talk
And I've surely fell
I've climbed so high
Down at the Cadillac hotel
I've climbed so high
Across the street at the bottomless cup
It's not about money, you can never get enough
Ten thousand feet to zero
One shot Johnny got a dog on a rope
You give and you give 'till you give it all
Rodeo riders, scarlet women, lean against your walls
The homeless and haunted and street Van Goghs
El Dorado Slim works behind the desk
Goin' from table to table, with a pocket full of hope
I've climbed so high
Story has a hero
You can drink and drink but you'll never get enough
Across the street at the bottomless cup
J. C.'s screamin' 'bout turnin' water to wine
Every story has a hero
Down at the Cadillac hotel
You might even have the blues to go
His livin' on his hands and knees
King of jive looks like the queen of please
I've climbed so high
The show they're waitin' for, is just three steps down the hall
Sweet Mother Mary, sells her fortunes well
I've climbed so high
Just past nine, in an old may tag
Got all in a big brown bag, in the lobby
And I've surely fell
Hang your coat on a fin, you finally got in
Either day or night, he can handle any request
She's got all the answers, just might save you from hell
Get ready for Cadillac night
Ten thousand feet to zero
And I've surely fell
Lace their souls up tight
It's not how you live, it's how you survive
You can have yours, sweet and low
Down at the Cadillac hotel
Every story has a hero
And I've surely fell
A handful of honesty, a fist full of pride
