Cadillac Ranch

(album: Back To Back - 1983)

Well 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 them down to the Cadillac Ranch

Eldorado fins, heavy whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

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

James Dean in that Mercury '49
Junior Johnson running through the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch

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

Hey little girl in the blue jeans so tight
Driving alone through the Wisconsin night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let 'em take me to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark shiny and black
Pulled up to my house today
Came and took my little girl away

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

Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
