Cadillac Ranch lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, there she sits buddy just a gleaming in the sun

There to greet a working man when his day is done

I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt

I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch

[Verse 2]

Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts

Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth

Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back

And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

[Chorus 1]

Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark, shiny and black

Open up your engines let 'em roar

Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

[Verse 3]

James Dean in that Mercury '49

Junior Johnson runnin' thru the woods of Caroline

Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans-Am

All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch

[Chorus 1]

Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark, shiny and black

Open up your engines let 'em roar

Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

[Verse 4]

Hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight

Drivin' alone through the Wisconsin night

You're my last love baby you're my last chance

Don't let 'em take me to the Cadillac Ranch

[Chorus 2]

Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark, shiny and black

Pulled up to my house today

Came and took my little girl away
