"Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind" Single by Confederate Railroad from the album Notorious in 1994. It peaked #9 in the US and #7 in Canada.
GWe were poor when I was a youngin' I don't remember ever going hungry CDaddy made sGure we didn't do without
I went to school with some of these fellas They had money and I was jealous
CI didn't know Gthen what I know now DaddDy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover It's Cwhat's inside Dthat really matters
CHORUS
Daddy Cnever was Gthe Cadillac kind He saidC some thingsD just glitter and shine He tauCght us thaDt loCve waGs the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy CneDver was thGe Cadillac kind
GI left home right out of high school Bought me a big car thought I was real cool CCruisinG' around the old neighborhood
I'd see Dad after church on Sunday I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
CHe just said Gno, I never understood He Dasked me how I bought it, I told him on credit CDaddy just smDiled, I'll never forget it
REPEAT CHORUS
EmIt took a while but now I'm grown CI've settled down with kids of my own
The more I give them
The moreD they want
GDaddy left us last November I don't remember him ever looking better CAll laid oGut in his Sunday best
I'm sure instead of all the attention All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A Csimple man Gsimply laid to rest AsD they drove him away in that big Cadillac With a Ctear in my eDye I had to laugh
REPEAT CHORUS
