Daddy Never Was Caddy Kind

G
We were poor when I was a youngin'

I don't remember ever going hungry
C                            G
Daddy made sure we didn't do without

I went to school with some of these 
fellas

They had money and I was jealous
C                              G
I didn't know then what I know now
                D
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book 
by looking at its cover
     C                        
It's what's inside that really 
 D
matters

CHORUS

            C                G
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
             C                     
He said some things just glitter 
  D
and shine
                  C            D  
He taught us that love was the one
       C              G
 thing money couldn't buy
            C D              G
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

G
I left home right out of high school

Bought me a big car thought I was 
real cool
C                       G
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
C                             G
He just said no, I never understood
   D
He asked me how I bought it, I told 
him on credit
C                             D
Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget
 it


D PEAT CHORUS


Em
It took a while but now I'm grown
C
I've settled down with kids of my 
own

The more I give them
              D
The more they want


G
Daddy left us last November

I don't remember him ever looking 
better
C                          G
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
  C                         G
A simple man simply laid to rest
        D
As they drove him away in that big 
Cadillac
       C                       D
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh
