Confederate Railroad - Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind

Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind

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

Mirror lyrics:

'Cause daddy never was a Cadillac kind
Just this once I hope daddy enjoyed the ride
Said some things just glitter and shine
'Cause daddy never was a Cadillac kind

With a tear in my eye, I had to laugh
But as they drove him away in that big Cadillac
A simple man, simply laid to rest
All he had wanted was a few words mentioned
I'm sure instead of all that attention
All laid down in his Sunday best
Don't remember him ever lookin' better
Daddy left us last November
The more I give 'em, the more they want
Got me a house and kids of my own
It took a while but now I'm grown

Daddy never was a Cadillac kind
Taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Said some things just glitter and shine
Daddy never was a Cadillac kind

I'll never forget it
Daddy just smiled
I told him on credit
He asked me how I bought it
He just said no, I never understood
Say you'll have to go ridin' with me someday
I'd see daddy after church on Sunday
Cruisin' around the ol' neighborhood
Bought me a big car thought it was real cool
I left home right outta highschool

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
Taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Said some things just glitter and shine
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
It's what's inside that really matters
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at the cover

I didn't know then what I know now
They had money and I was jealous
I went to school with some of these fellas
Daddy made sure we didn't do without
I don't remember ever going hungry
We were poor when I was young'un
