Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]We were poor when I was a youngun
I don't remember ever going hungry
[F]Daddy made sure we didn't do with[C]out
[F]I w[C]ent to school
with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
I [F]didn't know then what I know [C]now
Daddy'd say you [G]can't judge a book
by looking at its cover
It's [F]what's inside that really [G]matters

[Chorus 1]
Daddy never [F]was the Cadillac [C]kind
He said some [Am]things [F]just glitter and shi[G]ne
He taught us that [F]love
was the [C]one thing [G]money couldn't [Am]buy
Daddy never [Dm]was[G]
the Cadillac [C]kind[F][C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]I left home right out of high sch[C]ool
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool
[F]Cruisin' around the old neighbor[C]hood[F]
[C]I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
[C]'Hey, you'll have to
go riding with me someday'
He [F]just said no, I never under[C]stood
He [G]asked me how I bought it,
I told him on credit
[F]Daddy just smiled,
I'll never for[G]get it

[Chorus 2]
Daddy never [F]was the Cadillac [C]kind
He said some [Am]things [F]just glitter and shi[G]ne
He taught us that [F]love
was the [C]one thing [G]money couldn't [Am]buy
Daddy never [Dm]was [G]the Cadillac kin[C]d

[Bridge 1]
[Am]It took a while but now I'm grown
I've settled down with kids of my own
The [Dm]more I give them
The more they [G]want

[Verse 3]
[C]Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
[F]All laid out in his Sunday [C]best[F]
[C]I'm sure instead of all that attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A [F]simple man simply laid to [C]rest
As they [G]drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a [F]tear in my eye I had to [G]laugh

[Chorus 3]
'Cause daddy never [F]was the Cadillac [C]kind
He said some [Am]things [F]just glitter and shi[G]ne
But just this [F]once
I hope [C]daddy en[G]joys the [Am]ride
Daddy never [Dm]was [G]the Cadillac kin[C]d

[Outro 1]
No, my daddy never [Dm]was[Em]
[F]the Cadillac kin[C]d[F]
[C][F][C]
