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 secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through



Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac

The boy's a time bomb



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

Take him to the youth authority home

First thing you learn is that you got to make it in this world alone



Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb



Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go

Gotta car, he's only 21 years old he's runnin' #'s from the bar

His pager's beepin', he's got in deep in

What ever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin' in



Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac

The boy's a time bomb

The boy's a time bomb



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.



Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac, yeah

The boy's a time bomb



Time bomb
