Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind — текст песни (confederate railroad)

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
