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.



El Dorado fins, whitewalls and skirts;

Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth.

When I die, buddy, throw my body in the back,

Take 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 a Mercury `49

Junior Johnson runnin' in the woods of Caroline

Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans Am

Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac Ranch



Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark, shiny and black

Open up your engines, let 'em roar

Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur



Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight

Drivin' all alone in a Colorado night

You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance

Don't let `em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch



Cadillac, Cadillac...

Long and dark, shiny and black;

Open up them engines, let 'em roar;

Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur
