John D. Loudermilk Talkin' Silver Cloud Blues Lyrics:
I've been singing rock most all my life I got
three little boys and a sweet young wife I feed
'em good cause I make good bread thank God for the
man that said Rock'n roll is the answer son you
can't beat 'em join 'em Get your guitar get your
drum get your set of iron ear drums A thousand
watt column and you're in the business son Got my
first Cadillac in '54 since then I had about five
more Mercedez Benz and a Porsche too the other day
I was thinking this wouldn't do Cause the price of
a Cadillac times two comes out to the cost of a
Rolls Royce new But soon the Cadillac's obsolete
and the Rolls Royce is still a running sleet
Figure four years instead of two before you gotta
buy something new Put an extra fifteen hundred in
to pay for the bar and air-conditionin' You don't
need no chauffer get your bartender and ride baby
So the other day I drove down from a hill went to
my bank to get me some bills And boots and Levi's
worn and tan I ambled into the Rolls Royce stand
Showroom four was quiet that day I walked up to a
silver grey Silver Cloud all sleek and long
standin' there loose and so alone Such a beautiful

sight I never did see sparkled and shone like a
Christmas tree He was really something to admire I
loved in close and I hicked the tire Had to get
some attention I got some quickly Well I was
comin' my hair down in the chrome when up steps a
man in a herring bone Said good morning son may I
help you I said yes sir I'd like to testdrive This
new Silver Cloud II Well he jumped back his face
was sore he looked me over from my head to my toe
His face formed into a sneer he said sorry kid
this car stays here And don't you kick tose tires
don't open the doors don't touch the chrome You're
gettin' dandruff on the radiator Well I got put on
for an hour or more they ushered me in the
bossman's door It wasn't long till I came out the
bossman followed up with a shout Open the door
there look alive and take this boy for a testdrive
In the silver grey Silver Cloud the little cat's
loaded Lumps in is clothes gotta look for those
How do you think I got where I am today hmm Now
I'm driving along ole 501 listening to them big
wheels hum Gotta get home before it's five take my
wife and kids for a drive Now the moral is the
part that's best never judge a man by the way he
is dressed Don't you brush him off or treat him
wrong He may be the singer of rock songs don't you
forget it What's that pounding noise what's
burning Well the temperature is up and the oil is
down Termites running around and around on my
dashboard Spots on my windshield trading time
