Cadillac Ranch Songtext
von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 them 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
I′m gonna meet 'em down at the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them 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
Let 'em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let ′em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big ol′ dinosaur


Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big ol′ dinosaur
