Artist/Band: Confederate Railroad
Lyrics for Song: Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind
Lyrics for Album: Country Classics [2009]



We were poor when I was young'un

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 the cover

It's what's inside that really matters

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

Said some things just glitter and shine

Taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind



I left home right outta highschool

Bought me a big car thought it was real cool

Cruisin' around the ol' neighborhood

I'd see daddy after church on Sunday

Say you'll have to go ridin' 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



Daddy never was a Cadillac kind

Said some things just glitter and shine

Taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy

Daddy never was a Cadillac kind



It took a while but now I'm grown

Got me a house and kids of my own

The more I give 'em, the more they want

Daddy left us last November

Don't remember him ever lookin' better

All laid down in his Sunday best

I'm sure instead of all that attention

All he had wanted was a few words mentioned

A simple man, simply laid to rest

But as they drove him away in that big Cadillac

With a tear in my eye, I had to laugh



'Cause daddy never was a Cadillac kind

Said some things just glitter and shine

Just this once I hope daddy enjoyed the ride

'Cause daddy never was a Cadillac kind
