"Butterfly Inside A Coupe De Ville" lyrics

Rushing between meetings, I jumped into my Cadillac
Then something caught my eye, a frantic motion front to back
A butterfly was beating its pretty wings against the glass
Each time I reached for it, it flew just beyond my grasp

From the front seat to the back seat, it kept avoiding me
Until I said out loud "Be still, my friend, so I can set you free
I'll only hold you for just a moment, and release you for all time"
And then a question burned deep down inside my mind

Am I a butterfly inside a Coupe de Ville?
With luxury surrounding me, and yet a captive still
And could there be, reaching for me, someone whose love
Could set me free?
And let me see those flowers on the hill
Am I a butterfly inside a Coupe de Ville?

Hustle, hurry, plan and worry, tryin' to have it all
And then in one brief moment, I saw my world was far too small

And like a butterfly inside a Coupe de Ville
With luxury surrounding me, am I a captive still?
And could there be, reaching for me, someone whose love
Could set me free?
And let me see those flowers on the hill
Am I a butterfly inside a Coupe de Ville?
