Dans cette chanson, le protagoniste se remémore une relation perdue après que sa compagne l'ait quitté pour un autre. Face à sa détresse, il se tourne vers des substances pour échapper à la douleur et souhaite la reconquérir. Il achète une Cadillac, le modèle qu'elle a toujours désiré, et l'invite à une dernière sortie, qu'il envisage comme un voyage pour la chasser de ses pensées. Au fil de cette balade, il espère qu'elle réalisera qu’il n'a jamais pris soin d'elle comme il aurait dû. Cette histoire se déroule dans un contexte empreint de nostalgie et de regret, tout en soulignant l’idée que parfois, les souvenirs peuvent être aussi lourds que les sentiments eux-mêmes. La métaphore du voyage devient un moyen d'explorer ses émotions et de faire face à la séparation.
