Chris Ledoux - Cadillac Ranch lyrics

Well, the well went dry and the cow did too

Daddy didn't know what to do

The banker came by the house one day

He said he's gonna take the farm away

Then mama came up with a plan

My brother and me started up a band

My sister put a sign on the roof

And daddy bought a case of 90 proof

There we called it the 'Cadillac Ranch'

They're parking cars in the old bean patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Now the only thing that we raise is cane

You don't need the sun or rain

Just neon lights saying some ice cold beer

Keeps everything green around here

Mama takes the cash at the door

My brother and me keep them out on the floor

My sister sets them up at the bar

And daddy kicks back with a big cigar

Now we called it the 'Cadillac Ranch'

They're parking cars in the old bean patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Well, we gave all the cows away

Now the only horns around here today

Are the ones up on the grill

Of a genuine '59 Coupe Deville

There we called it the 'Cadillac Ranch'

They're parking cars in the old bean patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

There we called it the 'Cadillac Ranch'

They're parking cars in the old bean patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
