The title comes from the song “Nickels and Dimes” by the band Social Distortion. They also covered one of their songs on the same album with “Making Believe”.
The lyrics describe the beginning story of someone they would continue to write songs about the ‘guitar gangster’.
[Intro]
There's a Cadillac out in the dark
There's a guitar gangster lighting a smoke
And he feels the night and he feels the fire
[Verse 1]
Driving into the city unknown
Ten small houses, what the face in the cold
And then feel the night, can you feel the fire?
[Chorus]
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
[Verse 2]
Walking into a place called The Bar
People looking like a ghost had arrived
And he feels the eyes, can you feel the eyes?
[Chorus]
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
[Bridge]
Dear ladies, gentlemen, don't be afraid
We're here to ease your pain
Let it all start with a song
I'm sure we'll get along
[Chorus]
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac Blood
