Daddy Never Was (The Cadillac Kind) - Confederate Railroad[00:00:00]
Written by:Miller Blue/Shirley Danny[00:00:06]
We were poor when I was a young man[00:00:13]
I don't remember ever going hungry[00:00:15]
Daddy made sure we didn't do without[00:00:18]
I went to school with some of these fellas[00:00:25]
They had money and I was jealous[00:00:28]
I didn't know then[00:00:31]
What I know now[00:00:33]
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book[00:00:36]
By looking at it's cover[00:00:38]
It's what's inside that really matters[00:00:40]
Daddy never was[00:00:44]
The Cadillac kind[00:00:47]
He said some things[00:00:51]
Just glitter and shine[00:00:53]
He taught us that love[00:00:57]
Was the one thing money couldn't buy[00:01:00]
Daddy never was[00:01:03]
The Cadillac kind[00:01:06]
I left home right out of high school[00:01:13]
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool[00:01:16]
Cruisin' around[00:01:19]
The old neighborhood[00:01:21]
I'd see Dad after church on Sunday[00:01:25]
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday[00:01:28]
He just said no[00:01:31]
I never understood[00:01:33]
He asked me how I bought it I told him on credit[00:01:37]
Daddy just smiled I'll never forget it[00:01:40]
Daddy never was[00:01:45]
The Cadillac kind[00:01:48]
He said some things[00:01:51]
Just glitter and shine[00:01:54]
He taught us that love[00:01:57]
Was the one thing money couldn't buy[00:02:01]
Daddy never was[00:02:04]
The Cadillac kind[00:02:06]
It took a while but now I'm grown[00:02:11]
I've settled down with kids of my own[00:02:14]
The more I give them[00:02:17]
The more they want[00:02:19]
Daddy left us last November[00:02:23]
I don't remember him ever looking better[00:02:26]
All laid out[00:02:29]
In his Sunday best[00:02:31]
I'm sure instead of all the attention[00:02:35]
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned[00:02:38]
A simple man[00:02:41]
Simply laid to rest[00:02:43]
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac[00:02:47]
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh[00:02:50]
Daddy never was[00:02:55]
The Cadillac kind[00:02:58]
He said some things[00:03:01]
Just glitter and shine[00:03:04]
He taught us that love[00:03:07]
Was the one thing money couldn't buy[00:03:11]
Daddy never[00:03:14]
Was the Cadillac kind[00:03:15]
Daddy never was[00:03:20]
The Cadillac kind[00:03:24]
