Daddy Never Was Caddy Kind

[G] x4 [Cadd9] x2 [G] x2

[G]We were poor when I was a youngun
I don't remember ever going hungry
[Cadd9]Daddy made sure we didn't do [G]without
[G]I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
[Cadd9]I didn't know then what I know [G]now
Daddy'd say you [D]can't judge a book by looking at its cover
It's [C]what's inside that [D]really matters

Daddy never [G]was the Cadillac [Cadd9]kind
He said some [C]things just glitter and [D]shine
He taught us that [G]love was the [Cadd9]one thing money couldn't [C]buy
Daddy never [D]was the Cadillac kind[G]

[G]I left home right out of high school
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool
[Cadd9]Cruisin' around the old neighbor[G]hood
[G]I'd see Dad after church on Sunday
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
[Cadd9]He just said no, I never under[G]stood
[D]He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
[C]Daddy just smiled, [D]I'll never forget it

REPEAT CHORUS
[G]It took a while but now I'm grown
[Cadd9]I've settled down with kids of my own
[C]The more I give them
[D]The more they want

[G]Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
[Cadd9]All laid out in his Sunday [G]best
[G]I'm sure instead of all the attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
[Cadd9]A simple man simply laid to [G]rest
[D]As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a [C]tear in my eye I [D]had to laugh

REPEAT CHORUS
