Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind (Vocal Version) - Mega Tracks Karaoke Band

We were poor when

I was a youngun

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

Daddy'd say you can't judge a book

By looking at it's cover

It's what's inside that really matters

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

He said some things just glitter and shine

He taught us that love was the

One thing money couldn't buy

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

I left home right out of high school

Got me a big car thought

I was real cool

Cruisin' around the old neighborhood

I'd see daddy 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

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

He said some things just glitter and shine

He taught us that love was the one

Thing money couldn't buy

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

It took a while but now

I'm grown

Settled down with kids of my own

The more I give them

The more they want

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 that 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

'Cause daddy never was

The Cadillac kind

He said some things just

Glitter and shine

Well just this once

I hope daddy enjoyed the ride

'Cause daddy never was

The Cadillac kind

No my daddy never was

The Cadillac kind
