  [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
