Lyrics
the more i give them
Daddy made sure we didn t do without, i left home right out of high school, i left home right out of high school
Cruisin around the old neighborhood, i went to school with some of these fellas, daddy just smiled
as they drove him away in that big cadillac
I told him on credit, i don t remember ever going hungry
He just said no, i don t remember him ever looking better The, i never understood
all he d of wanted was a few words mentioned
the more i give them
I m sure instead of all the attention, it took a while but now i m grown, i d say you ll have to go riding with me someday
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn t buy, all laid out in his sunday best Railroad, it s what s inside that really matters
As they drove him away in that big cadillac, daddy never was the cadillac kind, he just said no
I m sure instead of all the attention, it s what s inside that really matters, i don t remember him ever looking better
the more they want
with a tear in my eye i had to laugh
they had money and i was jealous
Daddy just smiled, all laid out in his sunday best, as they drove him away in that big cadillac
i d see dad after church on sunday
I didn t know then what i know now, i ll never forget it repeat chorus Confederate, we were poor when i was a youngun
they had money and i was jealous
All laid out in his sunday best, daddy d say you can t judge a book by looking at its cover Never, i ll never forget it repeat chorus
The more they want, i m sure instead of all the attention, i told him on credit
They had money and i was jealous, all he d of wanted was a few words mentioned, he just said no
Daddy never was the cadillac kind, a simple man simply laid to rest, we were poor when i was a youngun
with a tear in my eye i had to laugh
i left home right out of high school
it took a while but now i m grown
I left home right out of high school, bought me a big car thought i was real cool, daddy left us last november
Bought me a big car thought i was real cool, he just said no
We were poor when i was a youngun, daddy d say you can t judge a book by looking at its cover, all laid out in his sunday best
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn t buy, daddy left us last november
daddy never was the cadillac kind
It took a while but now i m grown, daddy left us last november, daddy never was the cadillac kind
daddy just smiled
as they drove him away in that big cadillac
I left home right out of high school, bought me a big car thought i was real cool
I didn t know then what i know now, he asked me how i bought it
i never understood
I don t remember him ever looking better, i don t remember him ever looking better Was, all laid out in his sunday best
all laid out in his sunday best
He said some things just glitter and shine, i left home right out of high school
I ve settled down with kids of my own, daddy never was the cadillac kind, with a tear in my eye i had to laugh
It s what s inside that really matters, i ve settled down with kids of my own
It took a while but now i m grown, i d see dad after church on sunday, it took a while but now i m grown
i went to school with some of these fellas
I didn t know then what i know now, i didn t know then what i know now
