Here are the entire lyrics:
If you wanna make the 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
The secret to a good life is knowing when you're through
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
The boy's a time bomb
He's back in the hole where they got him living like a rat
Be he's smarter than that Nine lives like a cat
Take him to the youth authority home
First thing you learn is you got to make it in this world alone
Now he's gotten out He's gotten free He's gotta go
Gotta car 21 years old He's runnin' numbers from the bar
His pager's beepin' He's gettin' deep in whatever
He can move on in You know that kid's a creepin' in
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 rollin' in the Cadillac It's midnight Sunroof is down
Three shots rung out the herd's deal The new king is crowned.
