Performed by Confederate Railroad on "Notorious"

[Intro]

G

G

1.We were poor when I was a youngin'

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

G

Daddy'd say "you can't judge a book by looking at its cover

C D

It's what's inside that really matters

C G

C.Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

D

He said some things just glitter and shine

C D C G

He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy

C G

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

2.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

Bridge

C G

It took a while but now I'm grown

C G

I've settled down with kids of my own

C

The more I give them

D

The more they want

3.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

C.Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

He said some things just glitter and shine

Just this once I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride

'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

No my Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

C
