We were poor when I was a youngun I don't remember ever going hungry Daddy made sure we didn't do without I went to school with some of these fellas They had money and I was jealous I didn't know then what I know now Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover It's what's inside that really matters Daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy never was the Cadillac kind I left home right out of high school Bought me a big car thought I was real cool Cruisin' around the old neighborhood I'd see Dad after church on Sunday I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday He just said no, I never understood He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it Daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy never was the Cadillac kind It took a while but now I'm grown I've settled down with kids of my own The more I give them The more they want Daddy left us last November I don't remember him ever looking better All laid out in his Sunday best I'm sure instead of all the attention All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned A simple man simply laid to rest As they drove him away in that big Cadillac With a tear in my eye I had to laugh Daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
