Pearl Cadillac Lyrics

You say I owe you nothin'
If I could, I'd give you the world
You made somethin' from nothin
I thank God for such a beautiful girl
He brought on this world, yeah

I remember when I left home in that pearl Cadillac
I was searching for some kinda way to pay you back
For your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love
Well, I won't let you down, I'ma make you proud

You say money ain't everything
You could've made it on your own
Now I understand your sacrifice
Late nights, fussing and fighting at home
I'm sorry for the things I did wrong

I remember when I left home in that pearl Cadillac
I was searching for some kinda way to pay you back
For your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love
Well, I won't let you down, I'ma make you proud, yeah

I don't wanna let you down
Oh, I only wanna make you proud, yeah

You say I owe you nothin'
Oh, if I could, I'd give you the world
You made somethin' from nothin'
I thank God for such a beautiful girl
He put on this world, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
