Confederate Railroad Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind Lyrics

Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind Lyrics

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
