Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Time bomb
