Song | Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind |
Artist | Confederate Railroad |
Album | Greatest Hits |
作词 : GIBSON, DAVID LOWELL/NELSON, BERNIE | |
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 | |
Got me a big car thought | |
I was real cool | |
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood | |
I'd see Daddy 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 CHO | |
RUS 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 | |
CHORUS Daddy never was the | |
Cadillac kind | |
He said some things just glitter and shine | |
Well just this once, | |
I hope daddy enjoyed the ride ' | |
Cause Daddy never was the | |
Cadillac kind | |
No Daddy never was the | |
Cadillac kind |
