Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind |
We were poor when I was a youngun |
I don’t remember ever going hungry |
Daddy made sure we didn’t do without |
I went to school with some of these fellas |
They had money and I was jealous |
I didn’t know then what I know now |
Daddy’d say you can’t judge a book by looking at its cover |
It’s what’s inside that really matters |
CHORUS |
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind |
He said some things just glitter and shine |
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn’t buy |
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind |
I left home right out of high school |
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool |
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood |
I’d see Dad after church on Sunday |
I’d say you’ll have to go riding with me someday |
He just said no, I never understood |
He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit |
Daddy just smiled, I’ll never forget it REPEAT CHORUS |
It took a while but now I’m grown |
I’ve settled down with kids of my own |
The more I give them |
The more they want |
Daddy left us last November |
I don’t remember him ever looking better |
All laid out in his Sunday best |
I’m sure instead of all the attention |
All he’d of wanted was a few words mentioned |
A simple man simply laid to rest |
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac |
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh |
REPEAT CHORUS |
