He's Cadillac Jack Favor
And the name rings true
If he's got a ride
Any stranger would, too
The one bad habit
That his father would say
Is sure gonna put him
Through the trials one day
And that's just what happened
He took pity on two men
Heading down to Louisiana
He stopped and let them in
And the things he did
For helping them
Would make him wish
He was busting broncs again
He dropped them off in Boyser City
Where they met up with a man
That vagabond comittee barely
Even had a plan
It was just a simple robbery
Turned double homicide
They got away with murder
It'd be someone else's hide
Almost two years come and gone
They never solved that crime
'Til they found one of our vagabonds
Already doing time
When that jailbird started singing
They all knew the words were wrong
But the sheriff and the DA
And the judge all sang along
They pinned it on Jack Favor
Gave him life without parole
Gave Jack's freedom to the jailbird
Payment on the lies he told
It just so happens that election year
Everybody payed out at the polls
Cadillac's no fallen hero
And he's never gonna break
When it comes to prison rodeo
There ain't no easy eight
And if you want the definition
Of the picture-perfect frame
It'd be in the dictionary
Underneath Jack Favor's name
Yeah, it's the world's most crooked picture
And when it comes to being framed
Cadillac Jack Favor should be in the
