Cadillac Ranch

(album: The Compass Project - South Album - 2023)

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 'em down to the Cadillac Ranch

Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Drives just like a little bit of heaven here on Earth
So when I die, buddy, throw my body in the back
Take me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James Dean in your Mercury '49
Junior Johnson's driving in the woods of Carolina
Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans Am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Well, I said, hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Driving all alone in a Colorado night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let 'em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
