Lyrics for Cadillac Ranch

Well, there she sits buddy, just a-gleaming in the sun There to greet a working man when his day is done I'm gonna pack my pa, and I'm gonna pack my aunt I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch Eldorado fins, white walls 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 Cadillac, Cadillac Long and dark, shiny and black Open up your engines, let 'em roar 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 Cadillac, Cadillac Long and dark, shiny and black Open up them engines, let 'em roar Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur 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 Cadillac, Cadillac Long and dark, shiny and black Pulled up to my house today Came and took my little girl away
