Cadillac Ranch Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

Oh 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
He said, "He's gonna take the farm away"
Then mama came up with a plan
Brother and me started up a band
Sister put a sign on the roof
′N' daddy bought a case of 90 proof

Now we call it the Cadillac Ranch
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
There′s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
′Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch


Now the only thing that we raise is cane
You don't need the sun or rain
Just neon lights and some ice cold beer
Keeps everything green around here
Mama takes the cash at the door
Brother and me keep them out on the floor
Sister sets them up at the bar
′N' daddy kicks back with a big cigar

Now we call it the Cadillac Ranch
They′re parking cars in the old bean patch
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
′Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Well, we gave all the cows away
And now the only horns around here today
Are the ones up on the grill
Of a genuine '59 Coupé de Ville

Now we call it the Cadillac Ranch
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
There′s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
′Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Now we call it the Cadillac Ranch
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
There′s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
