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 |
