Cadillac Ranch Lyrics by Brett Kissel

The Compass Project - South Album

2023

[Verse 1]
There she sits, buddy, just a gleamin' 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
El Dorado 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
[Chorus]
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
[Verse 2]
James Dean in your Mercury 49'
Junior Johnson's drivin' in the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans Am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac ranch
[Chorus]
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
[Verse 3]
Well, I say
Hey little girlie, in your blue jeans so tight
Drivin' 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ah, play that fiddle, son
Ah, y'all come on down now
Woo
