| We were poor when I was a youngen I don't remember ever goin 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 lookin' at the cover It's what 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 it was real cool Cruisin' around the ol' neighborhood I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday Say you'll have to go ridin 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 awhile, but now I'm grown Settled down with kids of my own The more I give 'em, the more they want Daddy left this last November I don't remember him ever lookin' better All laid out in his Sunday best I'm sure instead of all that attention All he'd 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 in Georgia pride 'Cause Daddy never was, the cadillac kind No, my Daddy never was the cadillac kind |
