Cadillac Ranch Performed by Chris Ledoux
Written by Chris Waters and Chuck Jones
In the key of E
E
Well the well went dry and the cow did too
Daddy didn't know what to do
The banker came by the house one day
Said he's gonna take the farm away
A
Momma came up with a plan
E
Brother and me started up a band
A
Sister put a sign on the roof
B
And Daddy bought a case of ninety-proof
CHORUS
A E
Now we call it the cadillac ranch
B E
they're parking cars in the old feed patch
A E A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
N/C
Till the cows come home at cadillac ranch
E
Now the only thing that we raise is cane
You don't need the sun and rain
Just neon lights and some ice cold beer
Keeps everything real around here
A
Momma take the cash at the door
E
Brother and me keep 'em out on the floor
A
Sister sets them up at the bar
B
And Daddy kicks back with a big cigar
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO
BRIDGE
A
Well we gave all the cows away
E
Now the only horns around here today
A
Are the ones up on the grill
B
Of a genuine fifty-nine coupe de ville
REPEAT CHORUS (X2)
