Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Cadillac Ranch

There she sits buddy just a gleamin' in the sun

There to greet a workin' 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, white walls 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 your engines, let 'em roar

Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur

James Dean in a Mercury '49

Junior Johnson's runnin' in the woods of Caroline

Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans Am

All gonna meet down at the Cadillac ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark

Shiny and black

Open up your engines, let 'em roar

Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur

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 your engines, let 'em roar

Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur

Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark

Shiny and black

Open up your engines, let 'em roar

Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur
