Daddy Never Was A Cadillac Kind - Confederate Railroad

[Intro]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D] We were poor when I was a youngin', I don't remember ever going hungry
[G] Daddy made sure we didn't do with[D]out I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous, [G] I didn't know then what I know [D] now
Daddy'd say you [A] can't judge a book by looking at its cover
It's [G] what's inside that really [A] matters

|[Chorus]
|Daddy never [G] was the Cadillac [D] kind
|He said some [Bm] things [G] just glitter and [A] shine
|He taught us that [G] love was the [D] one thing [A] money couldn't [Bm] buy
|Daddy never [G] was the [A] Cadillac [D] kind

[Verse 2]
[D] I left home right out of high school, got me a big car thought I was real cool
[G] Cruisin' around the old neighbor[D]hood, I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
[D] I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
He [G] just said no, I never under[D]stood
He [A] asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
[G] Daddy just smiled, I'll never for[A]get it

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[Bm] It took a while but now I'm grown
[G] I've settled down with kids of my own
The [Em] more I give them, the more they [A] want

[Verse 3]
[D] Daddy left us last November
[D] I don't remember him ever looking better
[G] All laid out in his Sunday[D] best
[D] I'm sure instead of all that attention
[D] All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A [G] simple man simply laid to [D] rest
As they [A] drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a [G] tear in my eye I had to [A] laugh

|[Chorus]
|Daddy never [G] was the Cadillac [D] kind
|He said some [Bm] things [G] just glitter and [A] shine
|Just this [G] once, I hope [D] Daddy [A] enjoyed the [Bm] ride
|Cause, Daddy never [G] was [A] the Cadillac [D] kind

[Outro]
No my Daddy never [Em] was, [G] the Cadillac [D] kind
