Guitars, Cadillacs Lyrics

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Chorus:
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on

There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
I want to thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave

Chorus

It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

I only know this song, cause its in Terminator 2 (best film ever), I love it.

that movie is EXACTLY why I know of it too. AWESOME. :D

and I agree--T2 is most CERTAINLY one of the greatest films ever made.

not to get off on a ramble about a movie on a website about song meanings...

I'd have to say that the meaning of this song is, in short, serious heartbreak. so much so that very few things anymore make you happy.
