	Story Behind the Song I could tell you how I came to write "Frankie Speed (Stealin' Cadillacs) but I think that it would be best if I took the fifth. Lyrics Frankie Speed V1. My name is Frankie Speed and I am my own boss Its a high risk occupation to steer clear of the law but, Im the best at what I do yes, Im right where I belong Im standing here, its shinin there Im in, Im done, Im gone CH1. But its more than just a job to me and thats what keeps me comin back Its pure and simple ecstasy I love stealin Cadillacs I love stealin Cadillacs V2. Used to ride with my Granddad in his rusty runabouts but when a Cadillac drove by, you know hed always point em out But he never got to ride in one and that seemed like such a sin so, when I pick one out on a Saturday night I always think of him CH2. Yea, its more than just a job to me and thats what keeps me comin back Its pure and simple ecstasy I love stealin Cadillacs I love stealin Cadillacs V3. Gettin caughts for criminals and jail time is for crooks my work is clean professional Im strictly by the book You gotta know who all the players are but, if you think Im liein go ask the sheriff of Monroe County how he likes the car he drives REPEAT CH1. BRIDGE Its my job I cant deny it but happiness you just cant buy it V4 I know you might be thinkin that what I do aint right Its hard for folks to understand the way I live my life but, before your mind starts judging me look closely once again Make sure that part of you dont wish you could step inside my skin REPEAT CH2. words and music Alan Whitney 1999 Storytown Music BMI
