        G
Well, there she sits buddy justa gleaming in the sun
  C                            G
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt
     C                          D        G
I'm gonna take 'em down to the Cadillac Ranch

Eldorado fins, 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

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

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

Chorus

Hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' 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

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