lyrics

Gave your all to earn it all, a chosen man of the faith
White-knuckled underneath a golden crown.
Holy-roller modern king, with an ace up every sleeve
Illuminated light in a stained-glass house

So lead them all with your own heart
And bury everyone else in your wake
With all glory be to God on high,
All you see are Cadillacs in the sky

Blessed are the hearts planted at the foot of a man
In sunken ground that won't ever stay dry
You sold them keys to the kingdom, but changed the lock on every door
If they gave an inch you always took a mile

So carve your name across the stars
In that good old American way
Absolve every sin, and let your flag fly high
Way up near those Cadillacs in the sky

If you were once lost, well now you can be found
Taken underneath these righteous wings
Are you washed in the blood, by the shepherd that you seek?
Why would you speak the truth when there's no need?

So lead them all into God's own heart, and may your fortune light your way
Recite those old time hymns through a polished smile
While whispers on the wind speak an unholy lie
Now swing for the fence son, it’s the bottom of the ninth,
Before you can see those Cadillacs in the sky
