Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind
written by: Dave Gibson
Bernie Nelson
Performed by Confederate Railroad on "Notorious"
[Intro]
G
1.WGe were poor when I was a youngin'
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 "Gyou can't judge a book by looking at its cover
It's what's insCide that really mDatters
C.Daddy never wCas the Cadillac kGind
He said some things just glitter and shDine
He taught us that lCove was the Done thing monCey couldn't bGuy
Daddy never wCas the Cadillac kGind
2.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
Bridge
It took a whCile but now I'm grGown
I've sCettled down with kids of my Gown
The mCore I give them
The more they wDant
3.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
C.Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things just glitter and shine
Just this once I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
No my Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
