[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
