Lyrics Cadillac Dreams - Kiss

Cadillac Dreams

When I was seventeen,
found out just what it means
If you can get it free,
it just ain’t worth a damn
When I heard the preacher say,
don’t throw your life away
I got that message, and I wrote it on the wall
I don’t want anybody tellin' me lies,
no, I don’t want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain’t got my size
I want money, money, that’s what I need,
I got Cadillac dreams, please mister don’tcha take it from me Give me money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreamswaitin' on me Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams
When I had the young boy blues,
I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way,
there’s a heartbreak every day
Stone cold reality came crashing down on me Well life was hard on me, but I still don’t give a damn
When I was seventeen I was an angry young man
But I won’t let just anybody tell me who I am
I just want money, money, that’s all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister don’tcha take it from me Give me money, money, more than I need, these Cadillac dreams arewaitin' on me Didn’t have the time of day,
till this dream was born
You can’t take that away,
you can’t take that away from me When I was seventeen,
there was this beauty queen
Checked in a one room suite, the back seat of my car
When you want all the best things money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky
Yeah, I want money, money, that’s all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister you can’t take that from me I want money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreamswaitin' on me Money, money, that’s what I need
We’re drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams
Someday, one day, just you and me We’ll ride inside these Cadillac dreams
Cadillac dreams, hey, hey, hey
That’s right, hey, hey
It’s Cadillac dreams waitin' on me Hey, hey, hey
